and the rule would be simple.

you can import modules on a single line, seperating each with a 
comma.
however, an & instead of a comma seperates selective imports from 
the subsequent import.

import std.stdio, std.algoritm: goDoStuff, goDoMoreStuff & 
std.conv, std.whatever;

actually, the more I do that, the less I like it.

I would still prefer selective imports to be on their own line:

import std.stdio, std.conv, std.whatever;
import std.algoritm : goDoStuff, goDoMoreStuff;

but in simple case I might use it all on one line:
import std.stdio: write, writeln & std.algorithm: doStuff, 
doSomeOtherStuff;

but once introduced, programmers will misuse it - guaranteed.

then will just be spending more of our time deciphering import 
statements.
