• J Anderson (4/9) May 11 2004 I agree.
• Walter (2/2) May 25 2004 Having the same name for both a package and a module just isn't going to

In my opinion, it should be allowed, not that anyone asked for my opinion.

Example
---------------
[com/demmegod/lwLog4D.d]
module com.demmegod.lwLog4D;

import com.demmegod.lwLog4D.Logger;

[com/demmegod/lwLog4D/Logger.d]
module com.demmegod.lwLog4D.Logger;

import com.demmegod.lwLog4D;

class Logger
{
        Appender[] appenders = [];      
        static Logger globalLogger;
        
        static Logger getGlobalLogger()
        {
                ...
        }
        
        static void setGlobalLogger(Logger _globalLogger)
        {
                ...
        }
        
        this()
        {
                ...
        }
        
        void log(LogPriority priority, char[] message)
        {
                ...
        }
        
        void addAppender(Appender appender)
        {
                ...
        }
        
        void removeAppender(Appender appender)
        {
                ...
        }
}

...Plus more classes...

When I try to compile lwLog4D.d, I get the following error:
com/demmegod/lwLog4D.d(1): module lwLog4D module and package have the same
name
