I get the compile error:

if line "string.toString("asdf");" is commented out 
every thing works as expected.

I tried to make the imports at file.d and outbuffer.d private
but got the same error.

Hmm, including

import string;

seems to make it work.

Ive seen similar things ( odd error messages about functions im using but
not importing ) but im not sure its an import problem.

probably Walter will want to make a note of it...

thanks.

Prima facie, because of the lack of an explicit import, the comnpiler seems
unable to disambiguate the implicitly imported string symbols from file and
outbuffer. 

However, making the import string; private should lead to a different message
and that is a little concerning.

Perhaps what should be done is to only recognize first level namespaces such
that imports in imported modules are not recognized in the current module.

To be honest, I find the concept of them being automatically available somewhat
confusing, making a library function / class appear as part of the language.

Just my 2 cents.
