Hi! I'm using DMD 1.033 (with tangobos), so I'm not really sure about this one. But when I both rename and use a selective import, the renaming doesn't seem to have any effect:

import mystdout = tango.io.Stdout : Stdout;
void main()
{
	Stdout("Should require mystdout prefix?");
}

The above code compiles and runs just fine. Same code attached to the post.

Thank you for a great language!

No, this behaves as specified: you get Stdout from the selective import and
tango.io.Stdout as mystdout from the rename. See 'Renamed and Selective
Imports' in
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/module.html#ImportDeclaration .

I think that's a bit confusing syntax.

D is behaving as expected, see the section 'Renamed and Selective
Imports'.
