What's the reason why the module keyword was introduced in the

deduced from the directory and file hierarchy, as it is the
case in Python, IIRC. The search rules just have to be clear. I
know this has the side effect that module names can't be
keywords or non-identifiers, but who would use such module
names?
You can omit module declarations and those will be deduced indeed.
However that will make package path dependent on compiler currend
directory and this is why specifying qualified path explicitly is
helpful.
I see no reason to put module declarations in single level
projects with no packages.
