For following coding there is an error during compilation:
module utils;
package string toBulkString(string s)
{
import std.string: format;
return "$%s\r\n%s\r\n".format(s.length, s);
}
unittest
{
string actual = "foobar".toBulkString();
//...
}
>> source\utils.d(11,39): Error: function utils.toBulkString is not accessible from module utils
The error disappears if I change the visibility attribute from package to private.

This is arguable not a bug, since utils is not actually in a package. And the PR that was created to make it so that a module has access to package-level symbols in it even if it was not in a package was closed (Andrei was against it but was waiting for Walter, who never replied).
