On windows,
core.thread.Sleep  (big 'S')

On linux
core.thread.sleep  (little 'S')


I'm trying to import as little symbols as possible, so was importing specific items like
import core.thread : Sleep;

but it fails when I compile on linux, so I need to do a
version(Windows) import core.thread : Sleep;
version(Posix) import core.thread : sleep;

Seems like a bug?

No, you should be calling Thread.sleep (capital T) instead.

I have been calling Thread.sleep

I didn't even need to be importing [Ss]leep all this time!
D'oh!

You are importing the C functions.

The subtle name difference actually helped you find a bug, because these functions do different things (sleep takes a number of seconds, but Sleep takes milliseconds).
