If the Phobos library defines a module like
   random.d
then you risk a collision that can't be resolved
when you use a source file
   random.d
in the namespace (main directory) of your own
project.

This collision will turn up when you use a third
module (typically from a library).
Lets call this module libmod.d.

You have a
  - sourcefile.d that imports libmod.d
  - libmod.d imports random.d
The compiler takes random.d from your project, not
from the intended Phobos module, which leads to
compiler errors within libmod.d.

The version I'm working on now will allow private imports, which will deal with this problem. -Walter
