http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3603 Summary: Allow selective import syntax to import several modules from a package Product: D Version: future Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: DMD AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com ReportedBy: llucax gmail.com PST --- Importing a lot of stuff from a deeply nested modules is very annoying because it needs a lot of repeating, for example: import really.very.deeply.nested.package.module1; import really.very.deeply.nested.package.module2; import really.very.deeply.nested.package.module3; Allowing selective import syntax to do this in a more concise way would be a great improvement over this, the above example could be rewritten as: import really.very.deeply.nested.package: module1, module2, module3; Maybe this should be semantically equivalent to this instead of the first example: import module1 = really.very.deeply.nested.package; import module2 = really.very.deeply.nested.package; import module3 = really.very.deeply.nested.package; It can be a little more consistent with selective imports. But we still have to same problem if we don't want to type module1.symbol and want to type just symbol instead. Maybe a new syntax can be introduced to allow that, like: import really.very.deeply.nested.package { module1, module2, module3 }; Or something similar. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------

Importing selective symbols from a module can just use a separate statement, and it's less common than full module imports anyway. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
