When you find yourself doing things like that, seriously consider creating a
new
module to do it, called "clock".

That's not reliable, because static imports are not enforced. It means anyone importing a module "clock" will automatically have all symbols in "clock" imported into the current module, meaning this will work:

-----
import clock;

void main()
{
auto time = currTime(); // note the lack of full qualification
}
-----

And actually, this would have to be std.clock.currTime (std.datetime.clock.currTime?)

What you are looking for is renamed imports.

import std.datetime.clock = clock;

Which cannot be enforced. and that is really the problem.

"static module"?
