Alternatively you can use another module for the other

Forcing C++ code that exists in a single file to be split up
among multiple D files is inflicting unnecessary punishment on
the poor guy trying to justify migrating to D.
A solution could be to allow this:
----
module foo {
module bar {
// equivalent to foo/bar.d
}
}
extern(C++) module bar {
// Equivalent to namespace bar {} in C++
}

Note that Rust does something similar to this to allow multiple
modules to be defined in a single file (though Rust also doesn't
have the correspondence between filesystem location and module
like D does - perhaps this is acceptable with the introduction of
package.d?)
