The type simply cannot be mangled using the C++ mangler as it
does not exist over there. You might have the impression that
this should be allowed, e.g as an extension, but keep in mind
that `extern(C++)` is firstly designed to link against object
produced by a C++ compiler.
Now why this works in `extern(C)` ? Because C does not mangle
the parameters, a function linkage name is simply its
unqualified name, so linking will work even if the parameter
types are specific to D.
Now there is still the question whether the `extern(C)` code
will work as expected or not.
Could the mangling be provided with pragma and made to work?
