It's easy enough to create std package like this:

module std;
public import std.algorithm;
//...

However, I'm a _huge_ fan of local imports and only importing 
what's needed. It helps with build times, binary sizes, and is a 
boon for finding where things are actually defined when DCD can't 
figure it out. And, of course, reduces namespace pollution.

Dependencies are usually bad. Imports are dependencies. Ergo...
