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

That is [easy](https://run.dlang.io/is/af8dMY), just define the 
`system` module and publicly `import std`:

--- test.d
```d
import system;
void main()
{
     writeln("Hello D");
}
```

--- system.d
```d
module system;
public import std;
```

But like Mike, I advise against this. It will confuse every D 
programmer that is trying to read your code. What is most natural 
depends heavily on your background and what language you are 
coming from. `std` is perfectly natural if you're coming from C++.

Fun fact (but equally ill advised): You can hide the entire 
import from view like this:
```d
void main()
{
     writeln("Hello D");
}

/* Lean on Enter for a while */

import std;
```
