I suppose the biggest issue is:

-----
module mod;
import std.stdio;

struct A
{
     ~this ( ) { writeln("dtor"); }
}
-----

-----
module test;

class C
{
     with (import mod) A a;  // declaration, lives as long as C 
lives

     void test ( )
     {
         with (import mod)  // statement
         {
             A a; // destroyed on exit of scope
         }

         // a was destroyed, and is not even visible here
     }
}

I can see how this can be a pain point. If it's a big worry then 
I'd be ok with using one of the syntactic alternatives, like 
'import (std.stdio);'.
