--- Comment #1 from Ketmar Dark <ketmar@ketmar.no-ip.org> ---
this is how the compiler works: when you import *something*, it implicitly imports module "object.d" (see druntime). this is core module that contains all the basic things.

the reason D doesn't do it when there are no imports is simple: do allow compiling object.d itself.

it is really hard to fix this error message without writing a wall of text explaining what is going on. sure, error message can be better, but it still should be concise, to not annoy expirienced users. if you can think out something good, please, make a PR (or just write it here). anything that will make error messages better is welcome! ;-)

--- Comment #2 from RazvanN <razvan.nitu1305@gmail.com> ---
This now outputs:

test.d(1): Error: struct `test.object` conflicts with import `test.object` at
test.d

regardless if you have any imports or not.

I think we can close this as WONTFIX, because the compiler automatically imports object.d (except if you compile with -betterC) so I don't see how the error message could be improved without adding a measly special case in the compiler.
