Can we have std.math import math2 ?  There is no mention of math2 in the docs.

Trying to use max(...) function ( which is very cool ) , but when importing
std.math2 and std.string in the same module i get :

c:\dmd\bin\..\src\phobos\std\math2.d(933): function std.math2.toString conflicts
with std.string.toString at c:\dmd\bin\..\src\phobos\std\string.d(1777)

Is this meant to be used ?  If so how can I avoid this conflict.

Don't know if was meant to be so, but you may avoid the conflict by 
qualifying which toString you intend to use:

the function call would be:

   std.math2.toString(...);

or

   std.string.toString(...);

Or if you are only using toString() from a single source you may alias 
it as:

  alias std.string.toString toString;

The real fix to this problem is to remove to toString() function from 
the math2 module. toString() functions should all be localized to 
std.string.

Your right, sounded like a silly question right after I hit send :( ,( only
because Ive been using D for a while and should know better ).  You explained it
very well btw :).

I agree totally.  I think its a serious problem when I can't import two modules
of the "Digital Mars Endorsed" runtime library without getting conflicts.  I
don't think its a name resolution problem, I think its a phobos problem.  But I
know we've beaten this one to death already so Ill leave it alone.

( But there is two toString( real ) functions , one in std.math2  the other in
std.string )
