DIP 1005 provides new syntax to make it possible to avoid global

Any thoughts?

I like it!

template imp(string mod)
{
  mixin("import imp = " ~ mod ~ ";");
}

auto fun_time(imp!"std.datetime".SysTime tm)
{
  return tm;
}

void main()
{
  import std.stdio;
  import std.datetime;

  fun_time(Clock.currTime()).writeln;
}

Wow. This is... brilliant. Thanks for the great idea. I ran a few tests
and it seems to be doing out of the box most of what we want with
DIP1005 with no language change at all.

Congratulations!

I should also extend thanks to Dominik, who provided the initial idea and the inspiration for this one. -- Andrei
