Both examples should still work if the two mixins/namespaces occur in (possibly
different) imported modules. I think this would be in line with how lookup is
generally handled in D. (Note that I am not suggesting to make namespaces
extensible, but rather to make them overloadable.) How do you think about this?

Yes, that's how I anticipate it working. That's just following existing rules.
