The exact same thing happens when cstuff.c is actually named cstuff.d. But,
when:

module foo.bar.cstuff;

is added to cstuff.d, it compiles without error.

The trouble is, when a module statement is not present, the compiler names the
module as if:

module ;

was present.  is `cstuff`. The compiler does the same thing for .c
files - it assigns a module name of `cstuff`, not `foo.bar.cstuff`.

This boils down to the fact that C files do not have a means to name the
module. I think we're kinda stuck here.

ImportC added import statements to C files, why not module statements?

I'm experiencing this issue across Dub libraries. I maintain multiple libraries
that had used the same name for C modules, e.g. "bindings.c". The compiler
complains about module conflicts when an application depends on both libraries.

I am forced to workaround this issue by manually namespacing my C modules, e.g.
"wgpu_bindings.c".

Similar problem here.

A C library with different file with the same name:

hello/utils.c
world/utils.c

dmd hello/utils.c world/utils.c

won't compile.
