Wondering why:

import core.stdc.stdio : fputs;
import core.stdc.stdio : stdout;

void main()
{
    fputs( cast(const char *)"hello world\n",stdout);
}

compiles and runs, but if I change the imports to:

import std.stdio : fputs;
import std.stdio : stdout;

I get this compile error:

fputs_test.d(11): Error: function core.stdc.stdio.fputs (scope 
const(char*) s, shared(_IO_FILE)* stream) is not callable using 
argument types (const(char*), File)

core.stdc.stdio : stdout

std.stdio : stdout

Answer: not the same thing.

stdout in core.stdc.stdio and stdout in std.stdio are two different things.
In core.stdc.stdio it's a FILE*, and in std.stdio it's std.stdio.File.
Basically, core.stdc.stdio gives you the C version, and std.stdio gives you
the D version. However, there is no fputs in std.stdio. Rather, std.stdio
publicly imports core.stdc.stdio. So, it's the same fputs in
core.stdc.stdio, and it expects a FILE*, whereas since you import stdout
from std.stdio, you got the File, not the FILE*. So, they're not compatible.
