Walter doesn't like it but there's always this option as well. 
IMO it's the cleanest way:

extern(C++, stable.linear)
{
	extern(D):
	
	enum sort = 0;
}

extern(C++, linear.stable)
{
	extern(D):
	
	alias sort = .stable.linear.sort;
}

void main()
{
	assert(stable.linear.sort == 0);
	assert(linear.stable.sort == 0);
}
