I'd definitely choose to go with making the code not compile. Otherwise, it
risks function hijacking. You could have

auto foo(S s) {...}

in my.pack which

S* s;
s.foo();

is happily calling, and then when you change the code to import your.pack with

auto foo(S* s) {...}

the code would silently change which function was being called. In general, we
try and make all such situations compilation errors in D.
