That's not the only bad part. It also means refactoring your modules
requires changes to the user code too. See my other post here:

Actually, D is equipped to solve even that problem. If you really want
to use fully qualified names and reserve the right to rename a module,
you can do this:

foo.d:
import std.stdio : writeln;
void bar()
{
     writeln("bar");
}

main.d:
static import foo = foo;
void main()
{
     foo.bar();
}

If you decide to rename the foo module to "foobar", all you need to
change is one line in main:
static import foo = foobar;

I do like this and I did think about this for a different reason: avoiding long/obnoxious module names. (E.g. Java-like) However, this is another good reason to use this feature.
