           Summary: package vars accessible from sub-modules, package funcs
                    not
           Product: D
           Version: 0.163
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: accepts-invalid
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

-------- modules/mymod.d ----------

module modules.mymod;

package int foo;

package void bar()
{

}

-------- modules/level/test.d ----------

module modules.level.test;

import modules.mymod;

void f()
{
        foo = 1;
        bar();
}

----------------------------------------

Compiling those gives an error when trying to access bar() from test, but
accessing foo is OK.

Moreover, 

-------- modules/mymod2.d ----------

module modules.mymod2; // notice it's in the same package as mymod

import modules.mymod;

void f()
{
        foo = 1;
        bar();
}

--------------------------------------

Works, as expected, just fine.

If I'm reading the spec correctly, neither foo or bar() should be accessible
from test, as only modules in the same package (i.e. other modules in the
"modules" package; test is in "modules.level") should be able to access them.

I'm flagging this as accepts-invalid, as you can access foo, when I don't think
you should.
