This is acceptable only if then it imports the module names only. 
It means that later you must write "stdio.writeln()".

The suggested syntax "import std.(stdio, xml, algorithm);" is 
probably sub-optimal, and maybe better solutions exist. But in 
most cases more syntax is way better than foggy/messy semantics.
