The `import` statement inside the `for`-loop kind of smells

Sorry, inside the `while` loop
In D it's considered idiomatic, but it can also cause some very
hard to detect errors from time to time... I hate it for this
reason and never do it in my own code.
Inside a while, I don't think, really matches the idiom's goals.
By only sticking imports inside the code that makes use of them
you can achieve (I've never measured it though) compilation
performance improvements in code that then imports the containing
module but never makes use of the code in question. Sticking the
import in the middle of the code is just noisy though, you want
it nearby with limited scope but otherwise out of the way.
