yes.

here's an example which acts differently if you don't have it:

module a;
import b;
import std.math;
import std.stdio;

string toString(double){ return "you want to use this function";}

void main(){ writeln(toString(cos(1.0)); }

module b;
string toString(real){ return "covert ninja you don't know about"; }


I tried telling walter that enums don't and won't suffer from this problem.
