Btw, I just had an idea about std imports -- not only for scripting, but for 
general use of D as well: What if D automagically imported a std set of 
modules, _provided_ none of them is explicitely imported?

Then, I guess, people could go on importing manually (eg to reduce size of 
executable) without any change. This also applies to all existing apps, doesn't 
it? A border case would be an app that actually imports nothing -- but is it at 
all possible to do anything?

An interesting debate would be to define this std set ;-) Could it (easily) be 
made configurable?

I like the reasoning, but I think it might be confusing.
