But, to put this statement in the context of my other post, it 
further raises the bar which the arguments in favor of having 
extern(C++) introduce D-side scopes have to clear. If we had 
extern(C++, "ns") just affect the mangling, the need for adding 
extra qualifiers wouldn't exist in the first place.
