One point that tends to be ignored every time this discussion 
comes up is that of encapsulation. Since access modifiers work on 
a per-module basis in D, I think there is a strong incentive to 
making modules as small as reasonably possible by default. If a 
more coarse-grained structure is desired for imports from user 
code, one can always use package modules.
