$ C:\dev\code\d_code\conflict>dmd main.d
> DMD v2.064 DEBUG
> main.d(8): Error: bar.println!("main.d", 8u, string).println at bar.d(3)

Note how a *private* alias in 'foo' ends up causing a conflict in the importing module, and also note the horrible diagnostic: it doesn't tell us which module caused the conflict ('foo' is not mentioned anywhere).
