This DIP (which is similar to DIP 15) was discussed with Walter and Andrei at
dconf 2013:
http://wiki.dlang.org/DIP37
They verbally approved it in that discussion and it has already been
implemented by Daniel Murpy (though it hasn't been merged in yet):
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/1961
There is also an enhancement request for it:

The idea is very simple and does not require large changes to the compiler to
work as it mostly takes advantage of what the module system and imports
already do. However, it probably does merit having an actual DIP for it as
well as a public discussion, so I've created a DIP for it and am opening this
thread so that we can discuss it.
