What about allowing syntax sugar as an alternative to relying on the new `from/Module` inline import idiom:``` void fun(T)(std.stdio::File input, T value) if (std.traits::isIntegral!T) {...} ``` instead of: ``` void fun(T)(Module!"std.stdio".File input, T value) if (Module!"std.traits".isIntegral!T) {...} ``` Rationale: * this reads much better (less noise); same as `=>` syntax for lambdas * this is expected to be a very common pattern, so might as well make it as simple as possible
Why? It looks awful. The signatures we already have in Phobos is quite ridiculous, this will not improve. Isn't this and the whole idea of DIP 1005 just a workaround for the compiler not lazily analyzing the symbols.
