Well this corrected version shifts my negative attitude to just 
"I don't like it" from "I tremble in despair reading it" :) In 
that sense, it is a breakthrough!

I like Andrei's proposal much-much more though. There needs to be 
a good tool to interface to C++ namespaces, no doubt. But it 
should not impact pure D code and it does not need to follow 
exact C++ code style. Forcing module separation sounds awesome 
and can be trivially done by binding generator, i.e. dstep.
