Re: extern(C++, ns) is wrong

So my understanding is that the main issue with extern(C++,"ns") is functions that have different C++ name-spaces overriding each other in unexpected ways. How feasible is to simply disallow functions/variables/objects/... with the same name but a different "ns" being in the same module?

struct constructors and destructors.

Is there a reason that the following code struct Foo { this (string name) { do_something(name); } ~this() { undo_something(); } } Foo foo = void; void open() { foo = Foo("test"); // <- this line } tries to OpAssign foo to itself then calls foo's destructor?
