__MODULE__ seems reasonable to me. It's in line with __FILE__ and 
__LINE__ and __FUNC__ (which seems absent, from dmd 1 anyway)

If you have no module definition, then presumably it could be "" or 
whatever module the compiler considers it is when that happens according 
to the current rules.

They look a bit like C preprocessor type macros, but really they aren't 
so much, at any rate there is none of the problems you get with C style 
macros and so they don't seem like a hack to me.

What alternative did you have in mind?
