The example that Walter keeps bringing up is one where the C++ code has
2 namespaces in the same header file. Not only that, but then
identically named functions in those namespaces. In that case, a direct
translation would cause problems with hijacking in D, where it doesn't
in C++ (as long as you don't ever use `using` declarations, or only use
one or the other).
So the difference from your example is that you're not trying to bind 2
different files with 2 different namespaces into one D module, but you
are translating a single C++ header file that's written with the 2
bindings as described. Not std and boost, but ns1 and ns2 inside the
same header file, which each have identical symbols.
I've never seen it, but it's certainly valid C++ and in the realm of
possibility.

That's easy to solve.
Split into a package, public import each file and alias if required to
get each version.
It's easy to work around and most importantly, reasonable.
