The trouble mostly appears in this situation:
file1.d
extern(C++, NS) struct X;
file2.d
extern(C++, NS) struct Y;
file3.d
import file1, file2;
X x; // nope
Y y; // nope
NS.X x; // NS has multiple definitions...
NS.Y y; // NS has multiple definitions...
file1.NS.X x;
file2.NS.Y y;
works.
Why not produce something similar to an overload set for C++ namespace ? An
error needs to be issued only if X or Y is duplicated, otherwise, this is fine.
Because I'd rather have symbol table lookups done in a consistent manner, rather
than special casing it everywhere. The above behavior is completely consistent
with how everything else works, because it uses the exact same code.
