It'd be worthwhile to learn how D's name lookup system works before declaring it lame and insufficient:
Nobody has said anything about lame. The issue is that you don't need to know of "version1" on the C++ side. One purpose is to use the "inline" as a switch, so that you can use macros to turn on and off different library subsets. "inline" is injected in front of namespaces that are to be accessible in the parent, and that injection can be done by a macro.
But on the D side you need to know of "version1" if D does not parse C++ headers. Which is a maintenance burden.
