AUIU, the suggestion is to be able to take this:

------------------
// File libs/fizbarlib.d
module libs.fizbarlib;
void fiz() {}
void bar() {}
------------------

And turn it into this:

------------------
// File libs/fizbarlib.d
module libs.fizbarlib;
public import libs.fizbarlib.fiz;
public import libs.fizbarlib.bar;

// File libs/fizbarlib/fiz.d
module libs.fizbarlib.fiz;
void fiz() {}

// File libs/fizbarlib/bar.d
module libs.fizbarlib.bar;
void bar() {}
------------------

That does sound like a good idea. In the meantime, I'd like to suggest this as
a workaround:

------------------
// File libs/fizbarlib.d
module libs.fizbarlib;
public import libs.fizbarlib_impl.fiz;
public import libs.fizbarlib_impl.bar;

// File libs/fizbarlib_impl/fiz.d
module libs.fizbarlib_impl.fiz;
void fiz() {}

// File libs/fizbarlib_impl/bar.d
module libs.fizbarlib_impl.bar;
void bar() {}
------------------

That should achieve the same goal, albeit perhaps not quite as nicely.
