I may have found a workaround... (verified with dmd 2.069.2), 
works better than alias since everything inside ns can be made 
private.

enum bindings = q{
   pragma(mangle, ns.fun.mangleof)
   extern(C++)
   void fun();
};

private extern(C++, ns)
{
private:
   mixin(bindings);
}

mixin(bindings);
