Local imports appear in the grammar, but their semantics is unspecified. For
example, DMD lets local imports hide local variables:

void main(){
    string[string] map;
    pragma(msg, typeof(map)); // "string[string]"
    {
        import std.algorithm;
        pragma(msg, typeof(map)); // "void"
    }
}

But the documentation does not say if this is valid or if it is a bug.
