As a frustrated C++ user, I was sniffing around D for a decade. Today, I started reading "The D Programming Language". The first line of the first code example in this book:

import std.stdio

triggered my redundancy detector. Does it have to be std.stdio? How about std.io?

I think there's a replacement in the works, but I'm not sure of the status on that:

std.stdio's upcoming replacement is called std.io.  std.stdio is called stdio because it's based on C's stdio.h.
