I prefer the current form of the proposal:

The point has been brought up that the syntax import(std.range) is
also used for string imports. It is a drawback.

How about using "imports" instead of "import"? Simple enough change, and
it still makes sense

bool equal(R1, R2)
imports (std.range)
if (isInputRange!R1 && isInputRange!R2)
{ ... }

I fear that (a) a lot of folks will believe "imports" is a keyword; (b) 
another lot of folks will write "import" instead of "imports" and wonder 
why it doesn't work. -- Andrei
