Yes. But then you'll have the people who want a 1:1

maintaining a translation (and for comparing it with the
original C++ source code if it is not behaving correctly).
This would still be true if current behavior was kept and
extern(C++, "ns") or extern(C++, ns, noscope) or something was
added though no?
Though I do think the string is superior though because then this
would actually compile:
extern(C++, "shared") {
void f();
}
It feels the two preferences being mutually exclusive has somehow
occupied a lot of this discussion when they are not.
