You can also do things like:
--- s.d -------
struct S { int x; ref int X() { return x; } }

--- splus.d ----
public import s;
int increment(S s) { s.X() += 1; } // note no access to S.x

--- user.d ----
import splus;
void foo(ref S s) { s.increment(); }

I'd like to do this too:
-------------------------
import std.stdio;

void main()
{
    //int foo;
    if (int foo.bar != 0)  // no, sorry, you cannot declare foo 
here.
    {
        throw new Exception("foo.bar != 0");
    }
}

auto bar(int x,)
{
    return -10;
}
