Any reason why "alias this" doesn't work at the module level?
If I
recall correctly, a module is really just a "class" under the
hood, but
when I tried to use it I got:
Error: alias this can only be a member of aggregate, not module
<module-name>
public import is to modules as alias this is to structs/classes

They're actually different.
//
// File: mymodule.d
//
module mymodule;
struct Foo
{
int bar;
void baz();
}
__gshared Foo foo;
alias foo this; // using "alias this" on a module
//
// File: main.d
//
import mymodule;
// now the symbol "x" refers to foo.x, and the symbol "baz"
refers to foo.baz.
