Very nice article! I think everyone can be inspired by the tools that 
Vladimir writes.

Interesting from the animation that it decided that importing std.stdio 
can be "reduced" to importing std!

I see that you can prevent reductions via regex. How do you say "Don't 
reduce `std\..*` to `std`" or is that possible? In other words, I'm fine 
with reducing imports, but not that specific reduction.
