I figured as much. It's just that if it's known to be generally expensive, 
then that would increase the insentive to remove unnecessary imports. 
Otherwise, I would tend to favor something closer to just importing everything 
and not worrying about it. But it is quite common in Java to import only 
exactly what you use, though I think that that's at least partially to avoid 
symbol clashes, and D doesn't work quite the same way in that regard.
