It does work. However, you have to tell the compiler the file
to compile.
When an import is used, the compiler does 2 stages:
1. Search through already-seen modules, and see if one matches
2. Search the filesystem to find a file that fits the module
name. For example `std.path` becomes `$INCLUDE_DIR/std/path.d`
So if you provide the file name to the compiler as part of the
set of files to compile, it should work. e.g:
foo-bar.d:
```d
module foo_bar;
```
app.d:
```d
module app;
import foo_bar;
void main () {}
```
compiled like:
```
> dmd app.d foo-bar.d
```
That being said, I strongly recommend just to name the file the
same as the module name.

Ironically I was already doing this on a shell script carrying
all my source file names and switches for DMD, but since I
started to, I did not retest changing back the names on the file
system to a-b-c. I changed them right now and it works
flawlessly. Issue solved. Thanks for the tip Steve :) !
