This only works if you explicitly provide the module to DMD. If you
only pass the -I import switch to find the module it will not compile.

I wouldn't call this a feature, but rather a bug. It's probably a case
of a string compare returning true instead of actually verifying where
the module is. At best this could be a feature enhancement, but I
don't think it will fly.

There is also an opposite bug:
