Trying to figure out how-2 per new "using static"

Brojon

Simple example stymies me on how to get it into LinqPad 5 error free.
It does not like the usings. Complains they must precede all other elements defined in the namespace.
I get that - but it seems I used to get prompted to add the usings.

Maybe a more succinct question would be - how can I play with this new functionality?

using static System.Console;
using static System.Math;
using static System.DayOfWeek;

void Main()
{
WriteLine(Sqrt(3*3 + 4*4));
WriteLine(Friday - Monday);
}

To reduce clutter, LINQPad has a separate place for putting 'using' directives. Press F4 and click 'Additional namespace imports'.

In the box provided, enter this:

static System.Console
static System.Math
static System.DayOfWeek

Note that you don't need to prefix each line with the 'using' directive. LINQPad adds this for you automatically. If you're pasting code from another application, LINQPad will automatically strip out the redundant 'using' directives.

Awesome sauce!
