Here's Andrei's proposal:
extern (C++) template nspace() {
int foo();

Is this for interfacing D to C++, or a way to bring namespace
semantics to D?
Well, I'm assuming this is specifically for interfacing D with
C++ given the 'extern (C++)' attribution. In that case, I think
the proposal abuses the 'template' keyword for something that's
not really a template.
In that case, I find the syntax proposed by bearophile to be far
better...
extern (C++ nspace) {
int foo();
}
...although I would even prefer it be even more explicit...
extern (C++ namespace nspace) {
int foo();
}
I'd also be interested in hearing the arguments against the UDAs
and pragmas proposed in the following two links:
* https://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=7961
* https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/2767
The pragma is especially nice since this isn't really a D thing,
although bearophile's proposed syntax is hard to argue against.
