Umm... what exactly are you saying?  'static import' does the same thing
as 'import' except it doesn't expose the contents of the module into
global scope, just the FQN.

And neither have an effect on how the compiler looks for .d files.

I have a feeling you want D to compile like Java does; specify the first
file and the compiler pulls in all the dependant modules.  There have
been various proposals to do this before, however Walter feels the
advantages outweigh the inconvenience.  Also, since we have tools like
dsss and bud, it's not really an issue.
