Just setting the name mangling is not enough. There's also
the issue of how
does one refer to A.B.foo() rather than C.D.foo() ?
By putting first foo in A/B.d and second foo in C/D.d
Unfortunately, C++ programmers don't use namespaces in a way
that corresponds to the .h file names. By forcing them to lay
out their D interface files quite differently than their .h
files, it puts a large burden on them.
Well this is only reason why I am not adamant about this and
eager to compromise ;)
Still, providing tool that does C++ .h to .di conversion but does
idiomatic adaptation to D module system sounds like a better
long-term solution which will benefit both existing D
infrastructure and interests of C++ programmers.
