D:

  extern (C++, S::T) {
      int foo();
      extern (C++, U) {
        int foo();
      }
  }
  foo();  // error, ambiguous, which one?
  S.T.foo(); // S undefined

I don't feel this is a problem. Such foo's should be disambugated 
by D tools, which means using different modules. Exact matching 
between C++ and D sources is impossible anyway, it is not worth 
complicating D qualification system for that.
