I really don't think that renaming the module is going to help much with that. 
std.file is plenty descriptive. It operates on files, and the name makes that 
clear. And its module documentation is _quite_ clear on the matter:

--------------
Util­i­ties for ma­nip­u­lat­ing files and scan­ning di­rec­to­ries. Func­tions 
in this mod­ule han­dle files as a unit, e.g., read or write one file at a time. 
For open­ing files and ma­nip­u­lat­ing them via han­dles refer to mod­ule 
std.​stdio.
--------------

I don't see how you can get any clearer than that.
