In Rust, they have something call mod.rs, which is very
similar to package.d. When you use a module 'foo' in Rust, it
can either be 'foo.rs' or 'foo/mod.rs'. If 'foo' has
sub-modules, it has to be 'foo/mod.rs'.
Now in the Rust 2018 edition, they are getting rid of mod.rs.
So when you import 'foo', rustc will always look for 'foo.rs',
and if 'foo' has submodules, it can still reside in
'foo/submodule.rs'.
This makes me think if package.d is a good idea, and if we
should try to get rid of it as well.
I use package.d for more than just submodules.
I use it to share modules from different packages into a single
package too, as well symbols and more!
I should probably have added this to my post.
A good example of it is this:
