Currently selective import *implicitly* creates alias declaration for each
picked up names, and two equivalent selective import will make two alias
declarations implicitly, then they conflict each other.

import std.conv : to;
import std.conv : to;

is mostly same as:

import std.conv;
alias to = std.conv.to;
alias to = std.conv.to;  // conflict with the first alias

I think it's a not good compiler implementation detail and unnecessary
intrusive behavior.
Now I'm proposing to fix import mechanism in here.
