In Rust, they have something call mod.rs, which is very similar to
package.d. When you use a module 'foo' in Rust, it can either be
'foo.rs' or 'foo/mod.rs'. If 'foo' has sub-modules, it has to be
'foo/mod.rs'.
Now in the Rust 2018 edition, they are getting rid of mod.rs. So when
you import 'foo', rustc will always look for 'foo.rs', and if 'foo' has
submodules, it can still reside in 'foo/submodule.rs'.
This makes me think if package.d is a good idea, and if we should try to
get rid of it as well.
We added it a few years ago after 10+ years of people having a module
called 'all' which did the same exact job just without the compiler help.
So no, we should not get rid of it, because its works pretty well over
here :)
