Any thoughts?
This is really cool, but I have a couple of concerns about this
and how it seems deficient in comparison to DIP 1005.
Of course. This is why I called it a "workaround".
But in fact I would prefer to only use local imports instead of
some impoting template. But with this workaround in mind, the
implementation of DIP1005 would be much easier (see below).

The other problem is how much more verbose it is. With DIP
1005, you can do
with(import std.datetime)
auto foo(SysTime st1, SysTime st2, Duration d);
The import is only listed once, whereas with this technique,
you have to list it for each symbol. e.g.
auto foo(from!"std.datetime".SysTime st1,
from!"std.datetime".SysTime st2,
from!"std.datetime".Duration d);
With my original proposal you would write
auto foo(foo.M.SysTime st1,
foo.M.SysTime st2,
foo.M.Duration d)
{
import std.datetime;
}
