What is your way to import modules from other directory trees?
Here is my (incorrect?) ideal:
Given:
/home/user/library_directory/
Containing:
lib_one.d
lib_two.d
lib_interface.d
lib_interface.d source:
module lib_interface;
public import lib_one, lib_two;
Implementation in program /home/user/programs/main.d:
cd /home/user/programs
ln -s /home/user/library_directory/lib_interface.d
// or include in dmd.conf: -I/path_to/library_directory
main.d source:
import lib_interface;
...
Compile program:
dmd main.d lib_interface.d
There is an emerging consensus that a
import-everything-from-my-lib module should be called "all", see
for example here:

Also, there has been an DIP adressing this:
