Yes, it can be: 

test.d(1): Error: module bitmanips not found in package 'std'

However what if the module is not in any package? Example:

import bitmanips; void main() { }

=> test.d(1): Error: module bitmanips is in file 'bitmanips.d' which cannot be
read

What should we do here?

> test.d(1): Error: name 'foo' not found in module std.math, did you mean

I would replace 'name' with 'symbol' here.
