module test;
class Foo
{
    void foo(.test.Foo) { }  // should work
    void test() { }
}

void main() { }

test.d(5): Error: identifier 'test' of '.test.Foo' is not defined
test.d(5): Error: .test.Foo is used as a type

Not that it does work if "test" is an *imported* module, e.g.:

module mymod;
import test;

class Bar
{
    void foo(.test.Foo) { }
    void test() { }
}

void main() { }

This compiles.

I'd really like the first case to work because it makes code generation easier
to do (so I'm not talking about handwritten code here). But it's low priority
for me, I can implement workarounds.
