DMD 2.071.1 and Issue 15925 - [REG 2.071] Import declaration from mixin templates are ignored

[Mathias Lang via Digitalmars-d]

Author here. I originally thought the issue was that an 'imported' scope
imports are not considered anymore.
As Walter explained in this issue and in
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15966 this behaviour changed to
prevent hijacking and is intended.
So the only issue left with 15925 was that `-transition=checkimport` did
not warn about it, which Martin fixed. But since the issue was not renamed
/ repurposed, it led to a confusing changelog.

Raised a P.R. : https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org/pull/1404 and renamed
the issue, thanks for reporting.
