D - more or less power than C++?

[Derek Parnell]

Walter,
I know you are a busy person and this might have been missed, so I repeat  
the question for you.

  I'm not a C++ person so excuse my ignorance please, but are you saying
  that fully qualified references in C++ will override private/protected
  attributes? It does this in D.

  //--- foo.d --
  private void Foo() { }

  // --------------

  //--- test.d --
  import foo;
  void main()
  {
      foo.Foo(); // Compiles!
      Foo();  // Doesn't compile.
  }
