When module b tries to use a private member f of module a, dmd complains thusly: b.d: Deprecation: a.f is not visible from module b b.d: Error: function a.f is not accessible from module b The deprecation is not needed in this case.

The access check will be removed once visibility has become an error. https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/7241 We tried to minimize overlap, but some cases weren't that easy to avoid.
