Even better:

in object.d:
---
public import _d_helpers=core.helpers;
---

lowering:
---
v1==v2
to
_d_helpers.cmp(v1,v2)
---

This has the best scalability and zero possibility of code 
breakage and probably can be done right now. Also since the 
renamed import must be referenced explicitly, it doesn't need to 
be processed until used.
