I see the point in having filename other than module name (but this is only complication of things). But I can't find the way to make directory name different from package name. Using package prefix in module declaration leads only to problems when reorganising files. Using:

module xml.parser;

forces the dir where the file is to be named "xml". In other cases importing of it will always fail. Renaming of "xml" dir to "xmltools" will force a change in all files with module declaration. Did I missed something? (if I'm wrong please someone give me an example how to do that)

I have the same problem. The directory seems fixed to the namespace prefix. I'm on Linux with DMD 0.126. I also agree that something should be done about it, because it's a lot of redundant information (directory name/file name + module declaration + import statement).

This is precisely the issue I was referring to, but couldn't get it down in my own words.  Thanks! =)
