Well, if name clashes become that high in a .cpp file, odds are
that it's pulling in too much stuff.
My projects have been broken twice by adding new functions to
druntime (and one was symbol added to object.di :)). Forgive me
if I discard that argument as nonsense. If short names are
allowed and project is big enough, clashes are simply inevitable.
With D module system even medium size will do.
