Yeah. The name clash is a result of the rearranging of names of std.array, 
std.string, std.range, etc. that Andrei did a few months back. It's annoying, 
but the name clashes will go away as soon as the old functions have gone 
through the full deprecation cycle. In the interim, you just have to fully 
qualify the functions.
