I might be wrong but AFAIK D program doesn't have global
namespace - it's split between modules.
Another thing is that I couldn't use `allMembers` without using
the module name explicitly, because: `__traits(isModule,
__MODULE__)` returns `false` and `__traits(allMembers,
__MODULE__)` gives `"mymodule" can't have members, "mymodule"
must evaluate to either a module, a struct, an union, a class, an
interface or a template instantiation`
