Didn't you show how two identical names can be distinguished with
D symbol table system:

It also works the same for C bindings: they share (empty)
namespace, but identical C declarations can be distinguished in D
if they are in different modules. Maybe it's better to ignore C
namespaces and rely on D module system instead?
Though I don't know why one would want to disallow access to a
C++ namespace.
