Any way to fix this?

Sure. There are a few ways to approach it. You can alias one of the 
toString's to make it default like this...

import std.string;
import std.date;

alias std.string.toString toString;


Or you can type out std.string.toString or std.date.toString each time 
you refer to toString to disambiguate it.

Ah... that works wonderfully, I normally assume the toString to indeed 
be the std.string one. So the above is the best way to go for me.

I did that only for the std.date.toString, and had thought that would 
make things clear, but come to think of it the default would then still 
not have been properly defined.

Thanx.

Isn't the real solution to change the std.date alias for d_time into a  
typedef?
