Consider, In a.d static struct A { alias string S; } In b.d import a : B = A.S; void main() {} Module b.d doesn't compile, issuing b.d(1): Error: ';' expected b.d(1): Error: no identifier for declarator S on the 1st line

I'm pretty sure that allowing to bind aliases for arbitrarily-nested symbols inside imported modules is not a feature that import statements are meant for. I suggest using a static import + fully-qualified alias in the importing module instead.
