Say I have a project with the files structured like this.

package-name/
lib.d
test/
testlib.d
How do I make it so that I can import and use the contents of
lib.d inside of testlib.d.
As you can tell I'm very new to D, and kind of new to
programming. Forgive me for very noob and easy question, but
couldn't really find anything out by reading the docs.
In D, directory structure doesn't matter. What matters is module
names.
Let's say module name of lib.d is "module a;", and for testlib.d,
it is "module b;".
Then you can access whichever you want with dot notation.
"a.foo();", "b.var = 5;" etc.
Where directory structure matters is compiling.
dmd main.d src/package-name/lib.d test/testlib.d
Because it is logical to match directory structure and module
name, it is done in that way mostly, but there are times you
might not want this.
