It sure is, the module system is supposed to provide hijacking

Inner scopes override outer scopes. That isn't what hijacking
is.
I think this is an issue Walter, consider:
void main()
{
import std.stdio;
string message = "Hello, world!";
writeln(message);
}
It std.stdio contains a symbol called "message" then this will
not print "Hello, world". Updates to libraries that introduce
symbols could subtly break working code.
Whether or not this is what hijacking is, I think this is a
problem.
