If you want to interface with C++ you should do it well or not at 
all. In C++ namespace names reside in their own namespace which 
means that you get short names like "std", "qt" etc. Which in 
turn means you have to rename those to "CPPstd", "CPPqt" etc in D 
in order to disambiguate the symbols. Having a dedicated 
namespace operator would be a lot more convenient.
