This DIP (which is similar to DIP 15) was discussed with Walter

They verbally approved it in that discussion and it has already
been
implemented by Daniel Murpy (though it hasn't been merged in
yet):
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/1961
There is also an enhancement request for it:

The idea is very simple and does not require large changes to
the compiler to
work as it mostly takes advantage of what the module system and
imports
already do. However, it probably does merit having an actual
DIP for it as
well as a public discussion, so I've created a DIP for it and
am opening this
thread so that we can discuss it.
I would prefer to find the package file in std/datetime.d so no
change is required in lookup rules. Whatever the naming
convention is, I'm all for it.
