One proposal is we have the requirement that all the source files in a directory must top level ‘using' the same things. I suppose this could be per file extension too since those won’t be bundled together. I don’t know of another solution other than excluding specific files from the unified build. I guess we could require that they are the last file in any bundle they get placed in... D:

It’s pretty sad that C++’s ability to do ‘using’ in a specific scope is so weak.
