Here is a simple Phobos trick (courtesy of Adam) that I learned 
after much time grieving about std.file short names.

**Tip:** Use `static import file = std.file;` instead of `import 
std.file`;

https://d.godbolt.org/z/cq5xejdTx

Now you have:

    - `file.read`
    - `file.write`
    - `file.exists`


It's bad that Phobos takes over the namespace with 
non-descriptive names like read/write/exists, when names like 
fileExists/fileRead/fileWrite would be better for code completion 
and discoverability. And indeed, Phobos has a lot of 
undiscoverable things because the names don't have a prefix.

But you can keep things readable anyway with `static import`.
