Are you sure this is the problem? `PdfSurface` is not a valid
identifier here except for the class. In order to access the package,
you need to use `cairo.PdfSurface`.
Must've changed since you last checked:
```d
// main.d
import example;
void main()
{
// Error: incompatible types for `(module example) == (42)`: `void`
and `int`
assert(example == 42);
}
```
```d
// example.d
int example = 42;
```

That is a top-level module that has an equivalent name inside. I did say
"*as long as* it wasn't a top-level module"
```d
// main.d
import pkg.mod;
void main()
{
assert mod = 42;
}
// example.d
module pkg.mod;
int mod = 42;
```
works fine

This is why I always try to use a top-level package instead of a module
(especially with a common name).
