This is enforced in some languages, and I like it. It'd be confusing if they
didn't match when I would go to look for something.
I think it would be a good idea for D to standardise this. Not only so that
the compiler can traverse and compile but for all dev tools (static
analysers, package managers, etc). Standardisation makes it easier to create
toolchains, which I believe are essential for the growth of any language use.
Forcing the module name to match the file name sounds good, but in practice it
makes it hard to debug modules. What I like to do is to copy a suspicious module
to foo.d (or whatever.d) and link it in explicitly, which will override the
breaking one. Then, I hack away at it until I discover the problem, then fix the
original.
