Sounds awesome.

Without aliasing and with a unified scope operator you will get name clashes between D and C++. You should address why this is not an issue (e.g. practical and not tedious).

Example of what you mean, please.

What happens if you try to interface with two different C++ libraries that use the same exact namespaces?

If any of the names mangle to the same string, you'll get errors from the linker, just as you would if referencing those libraries from C++.

This is the new grammar?

LinkageAttribute:
    'extern' '(' identifier '++'? (',' identifier)? ')'

You can also have N.M

If the c++ library is "std::" and then later either D or C++ is expanded with a name clash, and the externs are auto generated, e.g. "std.something" appears on both sides, what happens then when you recompile you app?

I don't know what you mean. D has an excellent system for resolving names that appear in multiple scopes.
