I was imagining that there would be a way to just replace "::"with _ (and
not lose the namespace)
to get:

    extern "C" void* my_namespace_cpp_function_alias_name =
&my_namespace::cpp_function_name;

I'm not experienced with macros so I'm not sure if it's doable. Maybe
separating the differents name parts would work:

BOOST_DLL_AUTO_ALIAS( namespaceA, namespaceB, function_name) // implemented
with recursion for the namespaces?

    extern "C" void* namespaceA_namespaceB_function_name = &namespaceA::
namespaceB::cpp_function_name;

But it seems less "elegant".
