It does not. Since I wrote code where selective imports was not necessary, an
update to a second library being used hijacked my call and the compiler gave no
warning. That is the hijack problem, the fact that I can modify my code to use
the desired function is not relevant to how the compiler is supposed to help
prevent hijacking: http://dlang.org/hijack.html
