If you want to interface with C++ you should do it well or not
at all. In C++ namespace names reside in their own namespace
which means that you get short names like "std", "qt" etc.
Which in turn means you have to rename those to "CPPstd",
"CPPqt" etc in D in order to disambiguate the symbols. Having a
dedicated namespace operator would be a lot more convenient.
D has own tools to disambugate symbols. Introducing new ones is
equivalent to admitting D module system does not work by design.
