externally imposed conditional compilation

[Gor Gyolchanyan]

There's a tiny, but extremely useful enhancement request, that resides in
bugzilla for a long time now. It proposes the possibility to have modules
named "package", in which case they're imported using their package name
alone:

mylib
    core.d
    aux.d
    package.d

// main.d:
    import mylib.core;
    import mylib.aux;
    import mylib;

In this case adding UDAs to packages essentially means adding UDAs to the
"package" module.
And adding UDAs to any modules would look like this:

[MyUda] module mylib.core;

Since the module-level import statements affect the entire module, the
later imports would be enough to make the MyUda type visible at the top.
