I got burned by this yesterday, this code should not compile

import std.experimental.logger : trace;


void foo() {
        import std.net.curl : trace;
        trace("hello");
}


void main() {
        foo();  
}


Not sure if this is a duplicate

No this is OK, there is no reason to not compile.

It is same as:
import std.stdio;

string trace = "trace";
void foo() {
     int trace = 7;
     writeln(trace);
}
void main() {
     foo();     
     writeln(trace);
}


local symbols can hide global symbols

Correct. The implicitly introduced locals are the problem. Can anyone on 
the compiler team work on this? -- Andrei
