Ok, I had the impression that I saw such a message in the past but wasn't sure about it...

Well, that's more like a brute force approach. So it would be always best to use "import *" :-)

I like selective imports, because it gives a clear hint where things are coming from. I don't like that I have to do it manually. Maybe a 2-pass approach would help: DMD spitting out the minimal selective import statements at the end, which you could cut & paste into your code.

> If dmd as a library pans out, a language server might automatically suggest imports for unresolved symbols like common Java and C# IDEs do.

Yep, good approach too.
