So, strange problem below.
The commented-out line will not compile (if I un-comment it), 
unless I either move std.stdio into main, or, move std.file 
out of main.

Whereas writeln works just fine as is.

---------------------
module test;

import std.stdio;

void main()
{
     import std.file;

     //write("hello");
     writeln("hello again");
}
-----------------------

write exists in both, writeln exists only in std.stdio.

Use named imports to pick which write you want.

oh..you must have posted as I why posting ;-)

That makes sense then. Thanks for clearing that up.

And I should have read the compiler message more clearly..cause 
the answer was in that error message (more or less)

What you can do is use aliases to use both functions.

import io = std.stdio;

void main()
{
    import file = std.file;

    file.write("hello");
    io.writeln("hello again");
}
