One thing that could be done is instead of the namespace argument, have 
a mangled name argument. Then use CTFE to build the mangled name (if 
you want to).

This would also solve the problem we have on OS X where some C 
functions use a mangled name with a '$' in them thanks to the use of 
some GCC attribute in the system headers.

Or maybe it should be a pragma instead.
