Yes, that's the intended goal.
However, to convince everyone involved and to be able to
experiment with this in the wild for a bit, we went with
std.experimental first.
If drawbacks get discovered, it's a lot easier to retreat.
Cool.
Do you know if compilation speed improves if using selective
imports? E.g.
import std.experimental.scripting : writeln;
vs.
import std.experimental.scripting;
I suppose that's a general question wrt public imports, but in
this case there is probably more to parse than in other smaller
projects.
AFACIT selective imports have no impact on the compilation speed
at the moment.
It's quite likely that future versions of the compiler will take
selective imports into account, but at the moment DMD reads the
world of everything and only stops at templated
structs/functions/classes etc.
