Yah, I'm a bit "ehm" about the sudden recommendation to use
named import, too. However, I've been "ehm" about similar
things in the past and came to figure that some things are just
useful idioms in the forming (e.g. returning locally-defined
structs).
I find "import log = std.log" better and using the language
more naturally than the alternative - a struct/class in
conjunction with the "stuttering" convention std.log.log.
There are other solutions, such as naming the functions something
less common. And there's always selective import with renaming.
Who knows, it's hard to predict what the actual effect will be.
