I currently think DIP16 is invalid/worksforme (public imports allows splitting a module into a package). All that is left is how we could specifically import a package with one import statement.
Not entirely (I was aware of the way public import works). An issue does exist - there are "too many names", i.e. the alias pulled in the importing module and also the name being imported. This makes for odd synonyms such as std.algorithm_package.sort.sort being the same as std.algorithm.sort. The other issue is that obviously algorithm_package and algorithm must have distinct names, which makes the scheme a bit awkward at least until we define a compelling convention. I guess we can live with all that.
