What then can happen is that your local calls can get hijacked

There's not much precedent for local symbols being overridden
by module-level symbols.

I thought that happens already with non-nested functions:
module a;
struct A {
void f(); // assume it's added later
}
module b;
import a;
void f(A) { }
void g() {
auto x = A();
a.f(); // this would be calling local f until someone added A.f
}
Or I misunderstood what you said?

PS: This is something I've worried about before actually [1] when
I was more of a noob than now, but I've come to accept I guess :)
... though I could still be misunderstanding things of course :/
