Yes. Because the module is compose, within that file, compose
will refer to the module, not anything you import. The
selective import essentially creates a local alias like
alias compose = std.functional.compose;
as part of the import, so then within that scope, compose
refers to that alias and not to the module. You'll run into
the same problem any time that you give a module the same name
as a symbol that you're importing.

Is there a reason there is not a warning for this when
compiling? I think it explains a problem I had some time ago
that cost me a lot of time.
I mean there should be a better message.
