I think it's very unfortunate to have a module with the same name of an almost
built-in type. Maybe the module can be renamed to std.str; or we can live with:

import str = std.string;

Another possibility is, if bug 3503 gets implemented, is to leave static import
untouched. I think that's even a good idea for backwards compatibility.

static import std.string;
import std.algorithm;

std.string.foo();
algorithm.sort();
