mypackage/constants.d needs to import the modules for any of the types it's
using, otherwise it doesn't know about them. Modules are not textually
included like header files are in C++ (compilation times would be _way_
worse if they were), so a module only has access to what it imports, and
it's not affected by anything that imports it.

String imports is a feature, but then you end up with multiple copies of the
array in your program instead of one, and string imports are almost always
the wrong solution.
