Seems more and more like D should support importing all modules in a
package, that Java does:
import foo.*;
I think this style is currently discouraged in Java.

Well, it seems like everyone wants it and there are several libraries
that supports "import foo.all;" to include the whole "foo" package,
including some of my own.
The authors of Java apparently thought the same. It is _experience_ with
the actual feature that turned out to be bad. Last time I used Eclipse
it underlined with red the lines with .*.
I wish D could support partial modules - partial as analogy to C#'s
partial classes.
module std.datetime-unit1;
import std.datetime-unit2;
// dash allowed only in submodules with the same module name
...
module std.datetime-unit2;
import std.datetime-unit1;
...
// then
module whatever;
import std.datetime; // as usual
