I'm not a C++ person so excuse my ignorance please, but are you saying  
that fully qualified references in C++ will override private/protected  
attributes? It does this in D.

//--- foo.d --
private void Foo() { }

// --------------

//--- test.d --
import foo;
void main()
{
    foo.Foo(); // Compiles!
    Foo();  // Doesn't compile.
}
