How to use public imports in D - d

Question

I am trying to replicate a namespace kind of pattern in D. I would like to have one class per file and be able to use a single import statement to include all classes from a group of files.
in my root folder I have moduleExp.d
import foo.module;
import std.stdio;
void main()
{
writeln("hello world");
auto quakk = new Quakk();
quakk.write();
}
In my foo folder I have module1.d:
module foo.module1;
import std.stdio;
class Quakk
{
public string name = "thename";
public void write()
{
writeln(this.name);
}
}
Also in foo folder, I have module.d which I thought I could use to publicly import all my class modules into so they can be used in moduleExp.d of the root folder.
module foo.module;
public import foo.module1;
When I try to compile on Windows from the root folder with rdmd moduleExp, I get errors:
moduleExp.d(1): Error: identifier expected following package
moduleExp.d(1): Error: ';' expected
Failed: ["dmd", "-v", "-o-", "moduleExp.d", "-I."]
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. if I change line 1 in module.Exp.d to import foo.module1; then everything works.

module is a reserved keyword that you shouldn't use as a module name. And what you are trying to do exists as a feature in dlang called package modules. Look in http://dlang.org/module.html for documentation.
So basically, you have a module under the folder foo, its name should be package.d, where you publicly import the modules within foo and any other modules that you want. Example:
module foo; // notice the module name is used
// for the package module and not foo.package
public import foo.module1;
public import foo.module2;
...
And now when you want to import the package, just write import foo.
