For local imports, DMD imports _all_ symbols into the local scope, 
shadowing anything that was there, which is plain broken (as Sӧnke's 
example shows). BTW: how do you suggest to treat the root package? I 
think importing into the local scope is fine, but the above example 
should emit an error because the parameter and the package conflict.

(The following code does not compile either:
int std;
import std.conv;)
