Frightening!

This was IMHO the #1 advantage C++ still had over D. It might be enough 
to swing some of the boost crowd over here. It seems that by the time 
you do your presentation, C++ templates will look positively archaic. <g>

BTW, when you update the comparison chart, you might want to split
"Value Template Parameters" into Integral (which C++ has) and floating 
point/string (which it doesn't).
