If you have the directory "foo\bar" and try to compile this test.d file:

-----
module test;

import foo.bar;

void main() { }
-----

The error is: test.d(3): Error: module bar is in file 'foo\bar\package.d' which
cannot be read

When there is no such directory the error is simple:

The error is: test.d(3): Error: module bar is in file 'foo\bar.d' which cannot
be read

This is ok.

But the package error message is confusing to anyone not aware of the feature in DIP37. To make it informative, it should print:

test.d(3): Error: importing package foo.bar requires package.d which is not found in 'foo\bar\package.d'

Or "which cannot be found" or "which cannot be read".
