how about this:

void fun(T)(isInputRange!T){} // depends on both deps
void fun2(File file){} // depends on 1st deps ending with ':'

variant 2: //currently legal if not ending with ':' as above;
less noisy
syntax
@deps{import std.stdio; pragma(lib, "curl"); }
@deps{import std.stdio; pragma(lib, "curl"); }: // applies to
all below
Advantages:
* no new syntax (just new semantics)
* no nesting inside {}
* allows grouping multiple declarations under a single set of
imports
* `grep import` will still work unlike many of the existing
proposals
* can use existing traits to query for such imports (eg
getSymbolsByUDA)
* allows a more general solution (eg also handles `pragma(lib,
"curl");` if
we want that as well)
Really nice idea! Except it's still a little noisy. I would be
really happy if this gets accepted...
