Finally got to cleanup and submit this PR:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/3651
While proposed change is very small (and backwards-compatible)
and not worth separate DIP, it is still a language change and
needs community approval.
Copy of description:
========================================
Currently there is no way to use package protection attribute
with deeply nested package hierarchy, forcing to either use flat
one or public protection. This is one of blocking issues for
further usage of package.d in Phobos and one of reasons why
namespace hacks are so popular.
For example, if helpers in std.internal will be marked as
package, only std.internal will be able to access those, but not
rest of std. This PR fixes it by allowing package(<pkgname>)
syntax to explicitly define owning package.
[snip]
Even during my first experiments with turning parts of Phobos into
packages I've been bitten by this. So basically +1 from me.
