As a frustrated C++ user, I was sniffing around D for a decade. 
Today, I started reading "The D Programming Language". The first 
line of the first code example in this book:

import std.stdio

triggered my redundancy detector. Does it have to be std.stdio? 
How about std.io?

I think there's a replacement in the works, but I'm not sure of the status on that: http://forum.dlang.org/thread/vnpriguleebpbzhkpdwi forum.dlang.org#post-mailman.234.1362471736.14496.digitalmars-d:40puremagic.com

std.stdio's upcoming replacement is called std.io. std.stdio is called stdio because it's based on C's stdio.h.
