Hello everybody.

In C++ it is considered good practice to qualify names in namespaces, as in:

std::vector<int> v;
std::cout << std::endl;

How can this be done in D, with its std module?
For example I tried the following and it doesn't work.

import std.stdio;

void main()
{
    std.writeln("Hello world!");
}

Thank you for your time.

std.stdio.writeln("Hello world!");

You have to give the full module path:

std.stdio.writeln

Beside the answers already given you by others (of using std.stdio.writeln after a normal import), in D there are also static imports:

static import std.stdio;

And qualified imports:

import std.stdio: writeln;

All this should be more than enough for your needs.
