It is a personal POV of course, but I do it to avoid source code looking
like its hard to read. In other words, the references would look like ...

  auto x = new  foo_m.Foo;

rather than
  auto x = new Foo.Foo;

The duplication of symbols can get confusing after a while.

In Build, the class called 'Source' is contained in the module 'source.d'
and this makes a lot of code look strange. Especially when using static
members of the class.

  foreach(Source s; source.Source.AllFiles) ...


But each to their own.
