Make a PR that implements namespace as a string... I will use

1. Look how it is mangled on the C++ side. (Use "grep" on the
object file.)
2. Use:
pragma(mangle, "the mangled name")
That a) doesn't scale in a real dynamic codebase (think
templates), and b) is platform dependent and so isn't a proper
solution.
Honestly the only problem with Manu's suggestion is you can't
expose `a::foo` and `b::foo` with the same signature within the
same module due to (D) name collisions, although I don't see any
reason why we can't do both.
Then again I don't see any (non philosophical/compiler front end
internal) issue why you can't reopen a namespace. D is supposed
to be pragmatic, after all.
