sample:

dmd while.d
Comment 1 Frits van Bommel 2006-10-25 04:02:29 UTC 
Note this is used in dmd/src/phobos/internal (cast.d, invariant.d, switch.d) to implement certain compiler support functions.
Presumably these are used by hardcoding the mangled names into the compiler since no D module can import them.
So if this is changed, those modules would have to be renamed and those names would have to be adjusted.
Comment 2 Walter Bright 2006-10-25 17:07:38 UTC 
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.
