Or instead of a new language feature, the gtk-d guys could have package files ;)

But then that only helps with one specific instance. D is full of language features, I do not see why everyone is so against them. Without them, D would be empty, nothing, and no one would use it. Adding language features should be see as something good, cause without them, we wouldn't get anywhere.

In the past, I've thought it would be convenient to have something like

import io = std.stdio : writeln, write;

and allow someone to write

io.write("foo");
io.writeln("bar");

though I don't know if that causes any kinds of problems to implement.

This looks really clean for code modularity.

import io = std.stdio : {writeln, write}, ...
