This is really ugly and complicated.

Why not just

pragma(cpp_namespace, "outer")
{
    pragma(cpp_namespace, "inner")
    {
        extern(C++) void func();
    }
}

which is trivial to implement and doesn't require parser or semantic 
changes?

Adding syntax for actual namespaces to D is a different beast and IMO not 
worthwhile.
