Agreed.  These are things that are so often used and so basic that even the
overhead of having to remember to import something to use them is sometimes too
much.  As far as namespace pollution, what reasonable person would ever name
something max(), min() or abs() if it doesn't do what the standard max(), min()
and abs() functions in Phobos do?
