--- Comment #4 from RazvanN <razvan.nitu1...@gmail.com> --- (In reply to Max Samukha from comment #3) > How are imported symbols different than other symbols introduced by a mixin? In the case of imported symbols, you are right, there isn't any difference, however, the problematic case is when you have module imports (`import std.stdio`) inside a mixin. In that case, you end up importing a lot of symbols that you have no idea about. The user can look through the code (or the documentation) of a mixin template and at least have a general understanding of the symbols that he is mixing in, whereas, in the case of imports there is no way you can know what symbols end up hijacking your other symbols (except if you audit all the imported modules). --
