file(line): module XXX is in multiple defined I got this message when importing a file that lacked a module declaration at the top. Please make the error message more readable.

I've seen this error before myself, and I never found it very helpful (I don't remember exactly what the code looked like, though). We should probably include a short example of what code produces this message. I'm guessing it's something like this: // file 1: pack/module1.d import pack.module2; //file 2: pack/module2.d import pack.module1; (from http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/learn/Module_is_in_multiple_defined_7756.html) Another related thread: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/learn/static_import_is_in_multiple_defined_11474.html Also, it might be good to provide a suggestion for what the error message should be (if it actually should be an error), but I don't really understand what the message should be.
