D doesn't have anything like it, and instead has packages and modules.
So far, so good.
But why does this not compile?
extern(C++, ns) { void foo(); }
extern(C++, ns) { void bar(); }
Both of the extern(C++, ns) declarations create a separate namespace
declaration. (Which is needed to allow ns.foo and ns.bar respectively.)
I.e. the reason is that it was easier to implement in the compiler.
There might be a way to add support for it by overriding overloadInsert
in Nspace.
