Customizing the number of worker threads is another good reason. 
Besides, some people (myself included) maintain a module in their 
personal libs that publicly imports all their most commonly used Phobos 
modules to save on import statement boilerplate.  Therefore, I don't 
think that just importing something without using it should have 
substantial overhead.
