no, it can't. why should i remember that i have to import
"std.range.xyz" for something? of course, i will write `import
std.range;` and forget about it. no kind of splitting will
allow me to have self-contained "hygienic" declarations.
Yeah, modularity from the standpoint of importing a set of
functions and modularity from the standpoint of what those
functions import are orthogonal concerns. Without this DIP, we're
often unable to treat them orthogonally, but in principle, they
are. Are this DIP (regardless of the exact syntax) would allow us
to.
