Is there an alias for standard libraries to use in import statement?

You can use named imports, but then you have to use the name as a 
namespace:

```
import system = std;
void main()
{
     system.writeln("Hello D");
}
```

If you're worried about the readability of `std` by itself, don't 
use it by itself. Import the specific modules you want:

```
import std.algorithm, std.range, std.stdio;
```

or whatever. It's a non-issue, IMO. It's not like anyone using D 
doesn't know what std is.
