I don't think that is quite correct. This program failed to compile ....

   void main()
   {
     if (m; search("string", "regex")) {}
   }


I got the messages ...
   test2.d(3): undefined identifier search
   test2.d(3): function expected before (), not search of type int

It turns out that "import std.regexp;" is now required.
