You seem to be missing the only important statement that the DIP makes
about symbol disambiguation, that follows straight after those examples:
"Name lookup rules are the same as for mixin templates."
(Maybe it should say 'named template mixins'.)
I am not familiar with the rules.
Perhaps you can just outline for me:
module bar;
extern(C++, foo) void func();
module prog;
import bar;
void main()
{
foo.func(); // works?
}
If this works, then we have a problem. If it doesn't work, well, then I
see nobody using this feature (using C++ namespace for disambiguation, not
the mangling, which is still useful).
