Why not just:

	extern(C++, "mangled name") uint SomeFunction();

where "mangled name" could be any constant expression?

Whatever the syntax, this is a great idea. With constant expressions 
for mangled names someone could create a compile-time function or a 
template creating mangled names for namespaced functions and member 
functions. You could change that function/template to match any C++ 
compiler you want.
