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.
There have been many proposals earlier:

but it seems to me that the simplest, most straightforward
approach would be better.
As more and more people are attempting to call C++ libraries
from D, this is getting to be a more and more important issue.
I think this is a very bad proposal. Necessity to define
namespaces for interfacing with C++ must not result in usage of
namespaces of pure D code.
