Let's say you have a loop or a function that gets executed many times
but you only want to see the message every number of times or just the
first time. I had to do this many times myself. Why not just provide a
standard way of doing this?

Those symbols are declared in the std.log namespace or module not in
the global namespace. You can use:

static import std.log;
//...
std.log.error("hoge");

or

import log = std.log;
// ...
log.error("hoge");
