Then you have to import it on a separate line, or import it first.

It's why I put one import per line. It's second nature to me, I don't 
even think of putting imports on the same line.

But I think the better solution to this is instead making imports that 
collect other imports together. For instance, I rarely import 
std.algorithm.X, I usually use std.algorithm, even for selective 
imports. That seems more natural, and I don't have to look up which 
submodule it's in.
