I just updated to the current master after a few weeks of keeping it 
stable for the Visual D release, and noticed that the lookup rules for 
local imports seem to have changed:

void remove(int x)
{
}

class Boo
{
	import core.stdc.stdio;
}

class Foo : Boo
{
	void foo()
	{
		remove(1);
	}
}

dmd 2.062 compiles just fine, master "dmd -c test.d" now returns:
test.d(14): Error: function core.stdc.stdio.remove (const(char*) 
filename) is not callable using argument types (int)

i.e. the local import in the base class has higher precedence than 
module scope. Is this change by design or a regression? I didn't find 
anything about it in the changelog.
