--- Comment #6 from Andrei Alexandrescu <andrei at erdani.com> ---
An example that doesn't compile today for the sake of illustration: 

void main(string[] group)
{
    import std.algorithm, std.stdio;
    writeln(group);
}

This is a critical bug. I'm raising it accordingly.

One simple idea (that would nevertheless break existing code): only allow
"static import xyz;" and "import xyz : sym1, sym2;" at local scope.
