nope, you can't do this. actually, there is `pragma(mangle)`, but it's
not working for nested declarations. but you can use it to rename your
import:

  pragma(mangle, "getch") extern (C) int external_getch();

  void main() {
    external_getch();
  }

this will allow you to avoid name conflicts in your D code, yet still
link to external `getch` function.
