Oh yeah? For bragging about how D uses modules and doesn't need
global imports at all?
This is not my style and I didn't feel that not needing global
imports is something to brag about - they are useful as an
overview.
But with this new idiom .di-files are even more useless now - or
really need to declare all the local imports to replace the lost
overview.

But I'm not an expert for this. Especially I was not aware of any
problem and even didn't liked the DIP.

Ok, this is the most interesting part. This is what having an
idea is all about. Find new ways to put the things already there
together. But hard to describe.
Maybe I'll give it a try.
