Program:

module huh;
import huh;

compiles alright.

However the same thing in a bigger project cased spurious forward references around std.conv.text. (Sorry failed to reduce.)

Shouldn't compiler just statically disallow self-importing ?

Phobos has a couple of these self-imports. They all seem to be in unittest blocks, which maybe makes copy-pasting samples to outside modules easier since you automatically get a free import statement included.

Maybe we should allow them in function/unittest scope, and disallow them in module scope. Or should we just ban them outright?

I'm running a test suite on a fix right now.

Going to close it for a moment as the codebase changed radically over time and I'm not 100% sure self-importing was the core cause.
