Actually, this incredibly simple case fails:

void func()
{
    import std.regexp;
}

void main()
{
    func();
}

And I don't know how it could get any simpler than that, so that implies to me 
that the feature never actually made it in, but I don't know. But I _am_ using 
the latest HEAD from git, and the autotester is definitely failing because of 
the import in std.file. So, I don't know what's going on with this feature.
