digitalmars.D.learn - Suggest aesthetic way to Naming a module or a package with illegal

As you all might know,


 2. The Identifiers preceding the rightmost are the Packages 
 that the module is in. The packages correspond to directory 
 names in the source file path. Package and module names cannot 
 be Keywords.


https://dlang.org/spec/module.html#module_declaration

The D Spec literally says that we cannot use these words in the 
Module Names:
https://dlang.org/spec/lex.html#Keyword

Example, we can't Name Modules or Packages like that:


 module auto.alias.abstract;
 void main(){


}





I would like to know if there is any way to make it possible to 
name Modules/Packages via preoccupied lexical words, or at least 
receive some suggestions on some aesthetic naming for a 
module/package that includes these lexical d words.


Examples:


 module dauto.dalias.dabstract;
 void main(){


}



 module CustomAuto.CustomAlias.CustomAbstract;
 void main(){


}

So if I follow dstyle guidelines on keywords, this would be a 
correct non-conflicting result:


module _auto._alias._abstract;
 void main(){


}


The underscore way, I kind of liking it, thanks for sourcing the 
idea.

Well, technically, per the style guide, the underscores would go at the end
of the names, not the front, but that's only if you're trying to follow the
style guide rather than be inspired by it.
