Per the spec, if you don't give a module declaration, the name

So, if you just give a module name (which you generally would
in any real program rather than a quick test program), then
it's not a problem - unless you give the module a name which
conflicts with something that you're trying to use.
Thanks. I had actually read that spec, but forgot all about it.
Having only used D for a month or so, I'm only writing snippets
(107 so far), not actual programs.
I actually had to edit the source code of my editor, so that when
I create/save a .d file, if I happen to use hypens, then my
editor will now automatically replace them with underscores
(again, just because the way D deals with files).
I think I'll do some more editing, and have my editor insert a
default module name as well.
Still, I don't like the spec. I would prefer that dmd did not
implictly do stuff like that. Then I could regain the freedom to
name my files however I wanted.
