In which way exactly do I need an import to write »extern(C) int
system(in char
*); system(…);«?
Did I write "it provides safe sandboxes"?

No, but you wrote that it »helps in having safe sandboxes«, and I'm curious how
you think it would.
I mean imports usually bring in many more tools for naughty code. And I guess
in some languages, naughty actions can only be performed via such imported
modules (system control, direct memory access,...), thus forbidding import is
an easy way of creating a sandbox. At the very minimum, forbidding import or
limiting it to a predefined set of modules is a necessary first step, I guess.
