Be warned. I learned vim script while writing it so there may be bugs.

I am a vim user so what does it do exactly with the imports and why are  
imports the most annoying thing?

Sorry. I'll update the script's page.
And I find anything annoying that can be easily automated by IDE/editor but is
not.

As an avid user of renaming-imports and selective imports, I'm not so 
confident that my IDE/editor can or should automate them.  How is my 
editor to know that when I use 'IConv.toString(...)' it means to issue 
"private import IConv = tango .text .convert .Integer;"?  I suppose it 
could be made a setting somewhere (I do usually reuse the same 
identifiers for common renaming-imports, such as my example).  *shrug* 
Depends on one's needs, I suppose.

ATM it can at least remind you the module or modules with required symbol.
You'll only need to write "IConv = ". You're right that D import management is
not as easily automated as for example Java.
