You've more or less answered your own question: use a fully-qualified 
name.  Alternatively, use in test.d

     alias my_printf.printf printf;

However, when doing it on functions with C linkage, you have to be 
careful.  Because they don't have the module name mangled in, you may 
cause a linker conflict or end up inadvertently calling the C library 
function with the same name.  Indeed, I don't know why this doesn't 
cause a linker conflict when I try it (under DMD 1.00, Win98SE).
