The immediate example is to resolve symbol conflicts.

I've ran into this a few times:

import std.stdio;
import std.file;

void main(string[] args)
{
        auto text = readText(args[1]);
        write("The contents of the file is: ", text);
}

However, it is solved with an alias:

alias write = std.stdio.write;

(or using selective imports or fully-qualified identifiers for 
either module of course).

That's pretty slick. I guess I'm all out of use cases then.  I 
did learn a new trick though :)
