Thanks. I had actually read that spec, but forgot all about it.

Having only used D for a month or so, I'm only writing snippets 
(107 so far), not actual programs.

I actually had to edit the source code of my editor, so that when 
I create/save a .d file, if I happen to use hypens, then my 
editor will now automatically replace them with underscores 
(again, just because the way D deals with files).

I think I'll do some more editing, and have my editor insert a 
default module name as well.

Still, I don't like the spec. I would prefer that dmd did not 
implictly do stuff like that. Then I could regain the freedom to 
name my files however I wanted.
