digitalmars.D - can't use extern(C++,std) in a module that imports std.whatever

dmd -c -o- bar.d
Error: namespace bar.std conflicts with import bar.std at bar.d(2)

```
module bar;
import std.exception;
extern (C++, std) { struct Foo1 { } }
```

this seems like a serious blocker to interface with C++ ; what's a
workaround?

Have you tried renaming? either the import of `std.exception` or the C++ namespace. I'm not sure if the latter is possible, if its not then it would be good to have: something like, `extern(C++, cppstd="std");`.
