`std.file` has function named `write()` too. and local import

oh... I didn't realised imports are subject to scope rules in
that way.
This new knowledge will certainly prevent some ongoing confusion
;-)
thanks.
Also, if I do this below, how does the compiler choose the
correct write function?
import std.stdio;
import std.file;
void main()
{
write("hello");
writeln("hello again");
}
