Hello --
Apologies if this is answered somewhere in the documentation.
I was trying out the sample code on the dlang.org home page.
When I got to the "Sort an Array at Compile-Time" example, I
saved it on my machine as sort.d. When I tried to build sort.d,
the compile failed. But when I renamed sort.d to anything else
(e.g., array.d), the compilation was fine.

/home/brian/d $ dmd sort.d
sort.d(9): Error: function expected before `()`, not `module
sort` of type `void`
This is the error you get when you try to call a function that
has the same name as the current module. The best way to fix it
is to rename the module, but if you can't, you can use an alias
to disambiguate:
alias sort = std.algorithm.sort;
