Best practices in C++ code increasingly means putting functions
and declarations in namespaces. Currently, there is no support
in D to call C++ functions in namespaces. The primary issue is
that the name mangling doesn't match. Need a simple and
straightforward method of indicating namespaces.
In understand that in some cases it could be important to
interface C++ code with D.
But I prefer an ugly-looking feature that will be used only to
call C++ functions in namespaces, and not for general D
programming. So you will not see D code that looks like C++.
