I'm pretty sure that std.array is publicly imported since without 
it an array isn't a range. If your module works on ranges it must 
support arrays (if your module is template heavy).


string[] myList; ...
std.algorithm.sort(myList);

This would fail if std.array wasn't imported by std.algorithm and 
there is nothing you'd be able to do about it from outside 
std.algorithm.
