Because its illegal, you could have FQNs that are unable to resolve....

I get around this by using uppercase (or camel case) for module names.

module test.Foo;

  - and -

module test.foo.Bar;


this is a violation of walters suggested style guide, and it will not 
compile on operating systems that force a single case. But I happen to 
love the practice, as now I am able to reuse package names for module 
names.
