Again, they're in the same module. From an encapsulation stand point, what

It matters, in the same sense, that it matters if you have a module, full of
functions (which are encapsulated units of code), but your module has a whole
bunch of goto statements (not necessarily within a function). Now...you've
essentially no idea now which functions are truly encapsulated, and which
aren't.
Mike's right. D's encapsulation model is designed around the module. If a module
is too large to be comprehended, it should be broken up into smaller modules,
each with its encapsulated functionality.
