It would seem that name resolution is more complex than normal, and it

But the whole dance is pointless. If we could just recognise that the
ns scope only increases complexity, there's no good reason for it, and
there's no opt out.
Just let the symbols be exactly where they're declared like any
regular D code, and if you really want this namespace scoping feature,
can we take that as a separate enhancement request and discuss/design
it? I'd suggest it should be opt-in, since I can't imagine a case
where I would ever want that behaviour.
I'd like to distinguish what's going wrong:
1. a bug in the implementation
2. a bug in the design
3. a bug in your mental model of how it works
4. unawareness of a feature in D designed for the situation
before throwing it all away and rebooting the design. Note that I have been able
to help you when you've got an example illustrating the issue you're having.
