If it's not definitively wrong, then the compiler shouldn't say
anything about it, and it should be left up to a linter tool of
some kind like dcd.

If that's the way D wanted to go, it shouldn't have turned itself
into a metaprogramming monster that's completely unevaluable by
Linter tools, *or* it should offer some way to dump a
fixed-format lowered representation with line number information
that tools can analyze. As it stands, it is literally impossible
to evaluate whether an import is unused without evaluating the
entire compile-time subset of D.
