I have a fork of the standard-library in the folder "phobos".
In version 2.072.1 of the compiler, I could use code like
void main()

import phobos.std.format;
That should never have worked unless you changed the module
declaration in the format file too...
But if I do so, it imports the one from the standard library
attached to the compiler. Is it a regression? Should the old
version have rejected my code? I don't see any possibility to
test specific changes in modules of my fork.
You pass your modified file to the compiler:
dmd yourfile.d format.d
The format.d there can be a copy of the one from phobos (or a
fork or whatever) and since you passed it explicitly on the
command line, it takes precedence over the one in the library.
You still import it as std.format. You can do that with as many
modules as you like.
