I've taken a look at the votes in Bugzilla, and I've seen the bug reports that
ask for a more tidy module system are among most voted ones, it's not just a
pet peeve of mine:

Entry number 1:
Bug 314: "[module] Static, renamed, and selective imports are always public",
30 votes

Entry number 3:
Bug 313: "[module] Fully qualified names bypass private imports", 15 votes

Entry number 36:
Bug 1297: "[module] Static modules, aka enforcing static import.", 3 votes

Total 48 points for just three bugs! I think there are 252 bugs voted, 168 of
them have 1 vote. 521 votes in total. So those three bugs cover more than 9% of
all votes.
I hope Walter will take a look at fixing all the semantics of modules, that at
the moment has holes like Swiss cheese.

Bye,

fixed) in ldc, so unless Walter has some unspoken objections to the 
current patches it shouldn't be too much effort to fix it in dmd. I 
believe he did raise some issues with it, but I think they have been 
fixed since, I'm not 100% on this though.
