Why?
I don't see much of any use for namespaces in pure D code,
though I could be surprised.
If namespaces would give some astounding advantage, we would have
already seen it in C++. We don't want D to become another C++
with millions of ways of doing the same thing, do we? Modules
have served us well enough.
Put another way, we don't need namespaces "in the D language",
but we do need the ability to call C++ as easily as if they were
"in the D language". From the above comments, it looks like it
would be trivial.
