I'm referring to these two in std.string:
public import std.algorithm : startsWith, endsWith, cmp, count;
public import std.array : join, split;

Because whenever I try to use .count in my code:

import std.stdio;
import std.string;
import std.utf;

void main()
{
    writeln("foo".count);
}

std.utf.count conflicts with std.string's publicly imported std.algorithm.count

Can we avoid public imports in modules? The rise of conflicts in
Phobos is getting slightly annoying.

I cannot comment on the count issue, but if I was to import only 
std.string and I was missing basic functionality like the ones imported 
here, it would have annoyed me :) So it's good if it makes sense I think.

That makes sense, I understand. But I hate these conflicts. I've got
`alias std.bla.foo foo` scattered in most of my code due to constant
conflicts. :/

I'm not sure why they are public, but selective/named imports have been
publicly imported for some time. Bugzilla 3?? I think.
