Workaround for DIP 1005

[Dominikus Dittes Scherkl via Digitalmars-d]

DIP 1005 provides new syntax to make it possible to avoid global 
imports.
Till now global imports are necessary if a function uses types 
declared in some imported module within it's declaration or 
definition (otherwise a local import will do).

But this can already be worked around with some nice trick:

import someModule.SomeType;

SomeType fun()
{
    ...
}

can be replaced by:

fun.ST fun()
{
    import someModule.SomeType;
    alias ST = SomeType;
    ...
}

The same strategy works with types used in parameters or 
constraints, of course.

Any thoughts?
