When I define a function name (eg test() ) that matches a package name in
import statements (eg test.fun), I get a CT error: function main.test conflicts
with import main.test at main.d(1).
Not only is the CT error misleading, causing headaches in larger projects, but
also, is that an intended restriction? 


suppose the following files:
├── main.d
└── test
    └── fun.d

cat main.d:
import test.fun;
void test(){} //CT error: function main.test conflicts with import main.test at
main.d(1)
void main(){}

cat test/fun.d:
module test.fun;
