If we need to care about that, D module system is a failure.
But I don't think it is a valid concern.

People already complain about conflict function names in Phobos.


And I'd agree with them. At least inside of a library, care IMO should be taken to minimize overlap (of course functionally equivalent ones in different overload sets are fine, though). But in case of "logXXX" this seems to be very unlikely, much in contrast to "log" (std.math.log).

I disagree. People complain because they try to use imports in a straightforward way, similar to includes. That should be discouraged as a bad style in D. Imports should always be either with explicit mention of exported symbol or aliased static imports. And global module imports should be discouraged too.
