digitalmars.D.learn - simple idea for error messages

when it cannot match a prototype eg:
module foo;
enum Foo
{
foo
}
void bar(Foo foo)
{
}
module bar;
enum Foo
{
foo
}
void fooBar(Foo foo)
{
bar(foo);
}
rather than complain the type X does not match the type X - an
unhelpful message - could the compiler not check to see if the
type descriptions are identical, and if so print a clarifying
message about which modules they come from. it's easy the second
time, but another source of friction in learning the language in
the beginning.
