Well, the proposed feature does not add any new capabilities except proper

namespace foo{

would be basically the same as

private mixin template Foo(){
     // declarations
}
mixin Foo foo;

That's right.

which is available today. I guess namespaces will occur in pure D code as
sparsely as the above construction, because they are not particularly useful.

Yeah, template mixins turned out to be a solution looking for a problem.
