D does not have namespaces per se. However, modules introduce a sort of
namespace, templates create parametrized namespaces, and final abstract
classes may be used to fake namespaces, should the other features not
be sufficient:
final abstract class MyNamespace {
static:
// stuffs
}
I have no idea how dmd guesses possible names. But surely there is a
kind of probability evaluation used to rank possible guesses. If I'm
right, then dmd should not output its best guess in every case, but only
when its probability value is higher than a given threshold (to be
carefully defines).
This sounds reasonable, but hardly top of the list on urgency.
Also, the case above probably reveals some kind of bug, since it is hard
to imagine how "to" can ever be the best guess for "i" (and there is no
alias in the test case). PS: "alias to" is only guessed when the module
imports std.conv:to. Still, how to guess "to" from "i"? Finally, should
the guessing feature exclude (unqualfied) imported symbols?
Absolutely not.
