Here I would take inspiration from the Java world, where a 
"domain" is used per project. Typically this domain is written 
from the most general part of the domain to the most specific, so 
"web.example.com" becomes "com.example.web".

For example:
```
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
```

So you could have: com.alicorp.a, com.alicorp.b, and com.alicorp.c

That being said, D is not Java, thus things like the company 
top-level domain could be left out and you end up with alicorp.a, 
alicorp.b, etc.

Thus the problem of name collision goes away until someone else 
tries to take the name "alicorp". I believe this is why Java uses 
the full domain, because unique domain ownership is already a 
solved problem, they just ride along.

Packages like `vibe` follow a similar mechanism, where all the 
useful modules and packages are nested under a single package.
