I think the first error is correct:

bar(); // Error: b.bar at b.d(6) conflicts with a.ns.bar at a.d(5)


Yes, I put this one in to show why the next lines are sometimes necessary.

So you have two functions bar() one inside 'ns' in module a and "outside" 'ns' in module b.

Now, the last 2 errors, Mark Schutz said:

a.ns.bar(); // works, but requires superfluous `a`, even though
                // `ns` already makes it unambiguous

Question: What happens if you do this: using "ns1" in "module a" and "ns2" in "module b" and do:

ns1.bar();

?

There'd be no collision anymore, but...


Because you can't have more than one namespaces with the same name in C++, right?

You can:

namespace ns {
    void foo();
}
namespace ns {
    void bar();
}
int main() {
    ns::bar();
    return 0;
}

More realistically, the namespace declarations would appear in different header files, all #included into the same cpp file. These different header files would naturally be mapped to different D modules.
