What you're seeing is just an artifact of how dmd's internals
work. 'std' is an 'import' (call Dsymbol.kind() for the
category of symbol) and you'll have to resolve it to work out
which module/package is being imported. It's possible that
this is a bug in the symbol resolution, and that it should have
already been resolved to a package.
Keep in mind also that isPackage and isModule are RTTI
functions, and since Module inherits from Package all modules
will appear to be packages if that's all you check.
That helps immensely! I'll play with that a bit.
As far as semantics go, if this were ever officially integrated
into DMD, would it make sense for __traits(isModule, somePackage)
to return false (unless it has a package.d) since the inheritance
of Module from Package is basically a DMD implementation detail,
or would it be better to just follow DMD's convention directly?
