If you use a single ':' instead you can argue it's simply a shortened,
inline version of a selective import:

import std.stdio : File;
//still valid D
import std.stdio:File;
//expression instead of statement => remove ;
import std.stdio:File
//We're not importing a symbol, we're simply referring to it
std.stdio:File
