Warn on unused imports?

I'm playing with a branch of DMD that would warn on unused
imports:
https://github.com/FeepingCreature/dmd/tree/feature/Issue-3507-warn-on-unused-imports
Two problems have arisen.
First:
import std.stdio;
void foo(T)() { writeln("Hello World"); }
foo.d: Warning: unused import
To be fair, it's not *wrong*: if you remove the import, the
module itself compiles just fine. In any case, it's trivial to
instead move the import into the template.
The real problem is this:
import std.format;
class TestException(T) : FormatException { }
Now I can't move the import inside the template, because it's
needed at the point of instantiation, but not inside the template
scope *per se*.
I could require the class to be written as
template TestException(T) {
import std.format;
class TestException : FormatException { }
}
but that's kind of terrible.
I've been working around this for now, with import std.format :
FormatException, but I'm not really happy with it.
Any ideas?
