Strong words aside, let me tell you that the "vibe.d" import is just a
small convenience for quick projects, so that you don't have to write
yuor own main() function - something that in general appeals to quite a
few people when using web frameworks in dynamic languages.

In this context it was just a funny idea to name it like this (named
after the project, not to make it look like a file, of course) and make
it a kind of unique trait. However, this is by no means a pattern. The
module that imports everything is "vibe.vibe".

What's wrong with the reasonably established '_' module though? Trying to make it appear like a source filename is a deception. That may confuse the programmer.
That said, I didn't realise the project incorporated '.d' in the project name. I was under the impression it was being carried to other projects too that may not share the same naming pun.
