          Issue ID: 16191
           Summary: std/digest/digest.d should be renamed to package.d
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P1
         Component: phobos
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: schveiguy yahoo.com

The fully qualified name of the digest function template
(https://dlang.org/phobos/std_digest_digest.html#digest) is
std.digest.digest.digest. This is because std.digest is a package, with a
module named digest in it, and the function digest inside that.

I think it's reasonable to have std.digest.digest. Even though there's
repetition, it's clear that the first digest is a module, the second is a
function name. But there's no reason (especially with the advent of package.d)
to have a std.digest.digest module.
