The trick could be more fluent, but it might have merit. Has 
anyone explored it? Is it a viable candidate for becoming a D 
idiom?

I was looking at this in conjunction with choosing a naming 
convention for container functions. Some functions are "stable" 
so that would be part of their name, e.g. insertStable or 
stableInsert. With this, it's possible to write 
lst.stable.insert.

Walter doesn't like it but there's always this option as well. 
IMO it's the cleanest way:

extern(C++, stable.linear)
{
        extern(D):
        
        enum sort = 0;
}

extern(C++, linear.stable)
{
        extern(D):
        
        alias sort = .stable.linear.sort;
}

void main()
{
        assert(stable.linear.sort == 0);
        assert(linear.stable.sort == 0);
}
