No it doesn't.
I meant that you can today "reopen" namespace scopes by placing them in separate
modules.
That's not the same thing... you can create a _different one_ with the
same name in a different module.
That's right, I've said that before, and that's why I put "reopen" in quotes.
If you import both modules, the namespaces conflict, so it's
definitely not 'reopening' it as such.
No, they do not conflict. They are qualified by the module name, for exactly the
same reason you can have the same name in different modules. And, as I posted
before, 'alias' can be used to reference the name(s) as if they were in the
current scope.
You need to make sure to not name the namespace when specifying
symbols when you import 2 C++ modules, because it becomes ambiguous.
Again, use qualification or an alias, just like is done with D names already.
