No. imports are private by default There's no point in marking them as
private. If you want module C to see what module B is importing, then
module B
needs to import it publicly. e.g.

module B;

public import A;

It makes sense. But did it always work like this?

It has for several years at minimum. But I don't know how it works in D1,
and
it may have worked differently in the very beginning of D2. I don't know.
But
as far as I know, it's always worked this way.


I have a vague recollection of it being the other way around at one point,
but that probably would have been pre-1.0. *Definitely* pre-2.0. (Or I might
just be thinking of something else...)

Version D 0.163 Jul 18, 2006
New/Changed Features

   Imports now default to private instead of public. Breaks existing code.
   Added static imports, renamed imports, and selective importing

What is a static import? It sounds like something I might have needed last night...
