Perfect!
extern(C++, ab) void foo();
extern(C++, cd) void foo();
Perfect!
struct S1 { extern(C++, ns) void foo(); } alias foo = S1.ns.foo;
struct S2 { extern(C++, ns) void bar(); } alias bar = S2.ns.bar;
Perfect!
We have what already exists, that can't go away now, but please just give us
string namespaces as a mangle-only option. Not only will I shut up about it
forever, but we will also be able to specify namespaces that conflict with D
keywords, and also organise our modules just like all other D code ever.
I'm the one that gets stuck with the fallout from bad designs. The solution I
proposed above will work for you as best as I can tell. And it works right now,
you don't have to wait for another version.

You haven't explained why you can't just move the namespace ns declarations in
one file together. C++ code is organized based on the wretched
no-forward-references problem which doesn't exist in D.
