Well for ones that aren't scoped (i.e. used pervasively 
throughout the module) I always put them after the module 
declaration (if not the file containing main) and doc comment.

For scoped imports they go either on the line after the opening 
brace of the enclosing scope, or the line before the 
(selectively) imported symbol is used (if there is a reasonable 
amount of code preceding the opening brace).

Perhaps the https://dlang.org/dstyle.html imports section should 
be expanded.
