First comments on top threads
HN comment orderD made the decision at the beginning to have filename==modulename specifically to avoid this problem. So: import std.stdio; means look for: std/stdio.d
Wait, does the C++ module proposal allow modules names to be different from their filenames? This sounds so strange, I've never used such a module system in other languages. I've always assumed C++ modules would somehow restrict the excessive liberty it has had from its headers and preprocessors. How did they arrive at such a weird idea?
Any change in the 20ish months since that article was published?
