What I'm trying to say is how I've expected them to work. I really don't
think tacking on a filter list should be changing the semantics. A lot of
the time I start off with just "import foo" and then later trim that down to
"import foo : sym1, sym2, etc" based on what I ended up using. IMHO, that
change should be _trivially_ correct. And it's actually not given the
current (and past) definition.
This is exactly how I always wanted them to work (and in most cases
it's close enough). I have known they didn't work this way for a
fairly long time.
Walter has pointed out many times that D imports work via a simple and
consistent model. The downside seems to be that it's a model that few
expect...
Most of those discussions have been about the look up rules, not the import rules. They're two
distinct operations, where obviously the import rules affect the results of look up.
