Why not leave it as it is and only change the compiler to
perform inputs _within_ a function before evaluating the declaration, so that the symbols imported can be used in the declaration?

e.g.

fun(Range x) if(isInputRange!x)
{
   import std.range;
   auto a = x.front();
}

this is especially more clean if a function needs several imports and maybe some of them in the declaration but not all of them. This would otherwise split the imports to two different points, some within the (already much too long) declaration and some within the function. I consider this ugly.
