Before package.d support, you could not do any importing of

I don't know that there is a fundamental difference between
foo/package.d and foo.d, but this is just the solution that was
chosen. Is it a mistake? I don't think so, it's just a
preference.
Prior to this, it was common to put "package" imports into an
"all.d" file:
foo/all.d // import fooPart1.d fooPart2.d
foo/fooPart1.d

Ok, do you know why is this not allowed?
foo.d
foo/bar.d
