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 .*.

Really? I have not seen that. I have Eclipse 3.7.0 installed and it
doesn't indicate and error with "import package.*;". Latest Eclipse is
3.7.1.
I stand corrected (it was a while ago and my memory is hazy). Found a
