All of those are type members, one is not even in Phobos.

A member function or field has nothing to do with suggesting an import 
-- if it was part of the type, it would be there to use, and would be a 
different kind of error if you used it wrongly.

A much more useful search would be a different issue than suggesting an 
import when *no* symbol is found.
