The trick could be more fluent, but it might have merit. Has
anyone explored it? Is it a viable candidate for becoming a D
idiom?
I was looking at this in conjunction with choosing a naming
convention for container functions. Some functions are "stable"
so that would be part of their name, e.g. insertStable or
stableInsert. With this, it's possible to write
lst.stable.insert.

This isn't any different from namespace struct idiom, is it? I
don't like it because it forces the namespace usage even if it
isn't needed. There is something wrong with the module system if
one needs to resort to idioms like this.
My old finding about how it can be done on importing side :
