I'm referring to these two in std.string:
public import std.algorithm : startsWith, endsWith, cmp, count;
public import std.array : join, split;
Because whenever I try to use .count in my code:

import std.stdio;
import std.string;
import std.utf;

void main()
{
     writeln("foo".count);
}

std.utf.count conflicts with std.string's publicly imported std.algorithm.count

Can we avoid public imports in modules? The rise of conflicts in
Phobos is getting slightly annoying.

I cannot comment on the count issue, but if I was to import only 
std.string and I was missing basic functionality like the ones imported 
here, it would have annoyed me :) So it's good if it makes sense I think.
