Hello,

I am learning the D language, and so far, I must say I really like it.
I think it is very well designed and contrarily to some other comparable
languages it doesn't get in the way.

I am having a compilation problem though. In my main source, I wrote :

import std.stream;
import std.file;
import std.ctype;
import std.string;
import mintl.slist;

However, the compiler tells me :
..\src\phobos\std\stream.d(2912): function std.stream.isdigit conflicts with
std.ctype.isdigit at ...\src\phobos\std\ctype.d(32)

Is it a bug in the Phobos library, or did I forget something ?

Ha-HA!  Another reason to fix the "private declaration at module level" bug. 
Turns out, std.stream defines a private isdigit() function at module level. 
This technically should not be visible to other modules, _period_; but 
because of this bug, it conflicts with std.ctype.isdigit().

For the time being you'll have to call isdigit() with its fully qualified 
name, i.e.

if(std.ctype.isdigit(someChar))
...

Hopefully this bug gets fixed.
