I'm waiting still for the design of the D2 module system to be fixed to something more rational than the current one.

The following has to import only the module name "foo" in the current namespace:
import foo;

This is a syntax that imports into the current namespace all the names contained into the "foo" module (but it doesn't import the "foo" name itself):
import foo: *;

This imports the "bar" and "baz" names into the current namespace (but it doesn't import the "foo" name itself):
import foo: bar, baz;

This fixes several problems. It also allows me to have a "foo" name inside the "foo" module without troubles (as the current system leads me to).

Be well,
