I haven't followed DIP 1005 closely. Has there been any discussion of 
automatic imports that seems to have potential to make both the user's 
and implementor's lives easier:

void foo(std.datetime.Duration dur) {
     // ...
}

Can the compiler automatically import std.datetime for both the 
implementation above and the user? Or, too much beer at work on this 
Friday? :o)
