False.  I actually ran the test that I showed you and encountered no 
errors. (other than something stupid I did along the way.  which I 
edited out...)
both curses.d file have "module curses;"

young at Dan-Laptop:~/bin/mytest$ vim otherproject/curses.d 
young at Dan-Laptop:~/bin/mytest$ dmd -I/ncurses -I/otherproject test.d

I made it so that both projects have identical module names. 
"module curses;"
DMD still works it out fine if you import "ncurses.curses, 
otherproject.curses;"

The only way that I can see you running into errors is if you insist 
upon using "import curses;".
Which I do not know how you will get around that anyways, so I think I 
am entirely missing your point.

...and it appears that there is an error in ncurses about unctrl.d...  
=(


I showed you an example, and there were no problems.
Show me an example where there will be problems, because everything you 
have told me does not seem to apply to the current situation.

I will fix both Deimos and ZeroMQ (and the projects I'm currently 
working on) if you can give me enough information to duplicate the 
problems.
