Question 2: does std.algorithm.sort refer to the std.algorithm.sort
*module* or to std.algorithm.package.sort *function* publicly imported
from the std.algorithm.sort module?
The function. A symbol that is not specified as the module name in
import statement or in a module statement is always *not* a module. I
think our one saving grace here is that when you want to import a
specific symbol from a module, this is not the syntax:
import std.stdio.writefln;
So there is never any ambiguity as to whether you mean a module
identifier or other symbol.
Interesting. But isn't there an ambiguity when the symbol is not the
last one in the chain? Consider:
a.b.c.x
Could be static member d of class c in module a.b, or module member d in
module a.b.c.

The whole point of this thread is to import symbols from submodules into
a module. Obviously, this tends to create collisions. This one is hard
to solve and should probably be an error.
However, such a collision will also appear with DIP16, and DIP16 cause
also other type of collisions. So that one is superior - even if not perfect
