This design doesn't give us anything, and you seem to be 
resisting
making an argument for its existence. We don't need to do 
this, we
don't need to waste any more time.

Would it be possible to make the code available somewhere. 
Remove the implementations and rename the symbols, or would 
that be too much work?

I may have found a workaround... (verified with dmd 2.069.2), 
works better than alias since everything inside ns can be made 
private.

enum bindings = q{
  pragma(mangle, ns.fun.mangleof)
  extern(C++)
  void fun();
};

private extern(C++, ns)
{
private:
  mixin(bindings);
}

mixin(bindings);
