Since you named the file `environment.d` and didn't use an 
explicit `module name.thing;` declaration, the compiler assumes 
it should match the filename.

So it injects an implicit `module environment;` to the top of the 
file.

Now when you mention `environment`, it uses *that* name instead 
of the imported name, so it thinks you are trying to pass it the 
module called environment instead of the object.

If you add `module yourapp.environment;` or something to the top 
it'd fix it (unless you tried to use something called `yourapp`, 
then the name might conflict again!)

or rename the file.
