you should also mention an important point: current syntax disallows importing a simple module foo (with no package), eg:
import std.stdio:write,foo; // there's no way to specify a module `foo` import std.stdio:write & foo; // ok I don't care whether it's `|` or `&` but `,` as a module separator is 100% broken (and illegible, as you mentioned).
