True, but if names conflict, you then have to worry about using the full import 
paths for symbols, which can get annoying. On some level, it's unavoidable, 
and D has some great tools for minimizing the impact, but I also don't think 
that there's much reason to pick a name which is likely to cause conflicts with 
other modules when another name wouldn't, unless the other name is just 
horrible in comparison.
