syntax sugar: std.path::buildPath instead of from!"std.path".buildPath

[Timothee Cour via Digitalmars-d]

This thread completely diverged from the original post, which was propsing
`::` instead of `from!`:

```
void fun(T)(std.stdio::File input, T value) if (std.traits::isIntegral!T)
{...}
```

instead of:

```
void fun(T)(Module!"std.stdio".File input, T value) if
(Module!"std.traits".isIntegral!T)
{...}
```

I see it as a clear improvment in readability (see original post for
details along with shortcomings of `from!` approach )
