Is this a known issue in Phobos/DMD?

There is no shadowing, if the import statement is outside the 
function

void main() {                   // 1
  foo(4);                       // 2
}                               // 3
import std.string;               // 4
void foo(int count) {           // 5
              // 6
  format("%s", count);          // 7
}

This means that the local variable still has precedence over the 
imported one. However, if it is inside the function the imported 
variable is treated as local, as in "last one in closes the door"?
