1. The syntax is ambiguous.

Is import.foo.bar.baz the symbol baz in module foo.bar, or the symbol 
bar.baz in module foo?

I'd prefer syntax like (import foo.bar).baz and (import foo).bar.baz. 
(I.e., the syntax of import expressions would closely mirror that of 
import declarations, and would be unambiguous.)

2. The behaviour of aliases to import expressions should be defined 
explicitly.

I.e.

alias short = import very.long.module_name;

void foo(int i)(short.T a){ ... }

does this import the module if foo is not instantiated?
