Hello,

I'm working for some days now with DMD 2. My question is: is there any 
way to include all modules that are in one package? e.g.:

module foo.bar;
module foo.bar2;
module foo.bar3;


import foo.*(that's the way its done in java)


i could create a file with:
import foo.bar;
import foo.bar2;
import foo.bar3;


and include this file. But that is not that effective, in my mind.


Greetings
Yaga-Shura

something in both, d.D.learn and d.D, newsgroups about it.

Short answer: package/all.d publically importing all modules you want.

ok, i don't searched for anything... i'm sorry for that. i will search 
for it and hope to find the answer WHY it's not implemented ;)

It's not exactly obvious what to search for.  "D programming import .*" 
doesn't quite work.

 Short answer: package/all.d publically importing all modules you want.

Or my favorite that no one else seems to like: "package/api.d", publicly 
importing the modules that are part of the standard API of your package.

As for the reasons why D doesn't have it -- in most of the languages 
where it exists (python and java to my knowledge), its use is 
discouraged.  Why add a feature just to recommend not using it?

I also see a downside as to how DMD is implemented: when an import is 
found, it's module is parsed. So if you had .*, all the modules in that 
package would need to be parsed...
