If namespaces would give some astounding advantage, we would have 
already seen it in C++. We don't want D to become another C++ 
with millions of ways of doing the same thing, do we? Modules 
have served us well enough.

Put another way, we don't need namespaces "in the D language", 
but we do need the ability to call C++ as easily as if they were 
"in the D language". From the above comments, it looks like it 
would be trivial.
