With my original proposal you would write
auto foo(foo.SysTime st1,
foo.SysTime st2,
foo.Duration d)
{
import std.datetime;
alias SysTime = std.datetime.SysTime;
alias Duration = std.datetime.Duration;
}
And the implementation of DIP1005 would only "create this alias
automatically", so that you would write what you always did - if
any type in a declaration is not found, the compiler tries to
find it in the function definition and use that instead.
Therefore I would call this "auto aliasing"
It does not inquire a (visible) language change, only an enhanced
lookup within the compiler.
