If the Phobos library defines a module like
   random.d
then you risk a collision that can't be resolved
when you use a source file
   random.d
in the namespace (main directory) of your own
project.

This collision will turn up when you use a third
module (typically from a library).
Lets call this module libmod.d.

You have a 
  - sourcefile.d that imports libmod.d
  - libmod.d imports random.d
The compiler takes random.d from your project, not 
from the intended Phobos module, which leads to 
compiler errors within libmod.d.
