           Summary: "module in multiple packages" error should say which

I find myself yet again facing the dreaded "module blah is in multiple packages blah" compiler error.  It would be a huge help in fixing these errors if the compiler actually said *which* packages it was talking about.

Right now I'm staring at such an error, and I don't see any other module with the same name.  I have no idea where to look for the conflicting module.  Must be something somewhere on my include path I guess.  Or just a mistaken module declaration somewhere from a copy-paste error.  Whatever it is, it would be a lot easier to find if the compiler told me what it thought was conflicting.

Even worse, in this case the problem turned out to be that I was doing

   import Point3D;

when the module in file Point3d.d had

   module Point3d;

So the error message "module is in multiple packages" is not even accurate. Since it has to do with files and case, this could be a Windows specific problem.
