What does this add? A line like below would be confusing.
import io = std.stdio : {writeln, write}, writefln;

The following code compiles and the imports are less confusing.

import io = std.stdio : writeln, write;
import std.stdio : writefln;

void main()
{
     io.write("foo");
     io.writeln("bar");
     writefln("My items are %(%s %).", [1,2,3]);
}
