--- Comment #7 from Nick Treleaven <nick@geany.org> ---
This could be implemented with a struct template:

alias gtk = MergeImports!"gtk.Application, gtk.Window";

The struct would expose the listed modules' members as aliased struct members.

I think this should be closed as WONTFIX, because it adds complexity for the user when analysing modules for a case which might not be common enough, and can be done as above.

I don't really see any benefit in allowing this sort of behavior. If you have only 2-3 modules that you are importing you can either just put those imports top-level or just use them selectively inside the functions that require them. I think that D already provides plenty of options for such scenarios, therefore it is not needed to further complicate the language implementation to allow such a narrow use case.

If needed, the workaround presented by Nick is applicable.
