Well, the proposed feature does not add any new capabilities except 
proper mangling. In pure D code

namespace foo{
     // declarations
}

would be basically the same as

private mixin template Foo(){
     // declarations
}
mixin Foo foo;

which is available today. I guess namespaces will occur in pure D code 
as sparsely as the above construction, because they are not particularly 
useful.
