Created attachment 1839 File which fails to compile Hello, Having 'debug' in the module name results in dmd (2.098.1) and ldc2 (1.28.0, llvm-13) throwing out "Error: identifier expected following `package`" at a line in which the module declaration is present. I tested this on the following hardware: Devuan linux bookworm/sid x86_64 i5-3320M (ivybridge, Litte Edian) I attach an example file which throws said error. Sincerely, Mariusz Jakoniuk (jarmuszz)

See https://dlang.org/spec/module.html#module_declaration > Package and module names cannot be Keywords.

Thank you for reply, I missed this one point in the spec. If this is an intended behavior, I think the error message should be changed as it is misleading and could cause a lot of unneeded hair-pulling. Sincerely, Mariusz Jakoniuk (jarmuszz)
