Related to: https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=456 I opened new issue because old one was about D1. I suggest that: 1. Or keywords must be disallowed for module names completely. 2. Or documentation must be modified to explain "hidden" feature. Actually currently it speaks only about package names. In issue 456 was said that this change will break some of phobos' modules. Now as I see it will only break `unittest.d`.

Yes, the problem is that the parser expects an identifier not a keyword after the the `module` token. This is a minor limitation and as Walter has pointed out: "I think that 'fixing' this is probably more trouble than its worth. While such modules do work for internal modules that have no D interface, they won't work anyway for regular D modules, and the user will find that out pretty quick." Closing as WONTFIX.
