Specifically, Walter wants this to compile:
module whatever;
extern(C++, foo) void doStuff();
extern(C++, bar) void doStuff();
And he's not too concerned that you might have to use doubly
fully qualified names to refer to C++ symbols, like:
import core.stdcpp.sstream;
import core.stdcpp.vector;
core.stdcpp.vector.std.vector v;
This is probably the best explanation of why the current
situation sucks.

Agreed. Up until now, I didn't even understand the rationale for
why it works the way it does.

Thank you Walter for coming to the party!
Oh, wow. I sure wasn't expecting that. I thought that he'd made it pretty
clear that a DIP was needed, and even then, it didn't seem likely that it
would be accepted. This is awesome. I guess that he finally came around.

Indeed, thank you Walter!
