For now you can stutter a little bit and use this:
import S : S;

The simplest is just to rename the module so that it's all lowercase. I believe that most people give modules all lowercase names. It's what Walter recommends, but I know that others (e.g. Don) don't like that recommendation. It does solve the problem in this case though.

Actually, it doesn't because I have some structs that have lowercase names.

Yes, I know. :-) But then it's not consistent with built-in type names. But anyway, "import S : S" is an acceptable workaround, so I'll just stick with that.
