The C++ interface is IMO completely useless . Let me quote Walter
"In case that you want D to handle C++ you have to create a complte C++ 
frontend inside of D" (Not exactly , but I guess I have keeped the meaning)

But this is not the point .
Porting C++ to D is what should be a piece of cake.. In fact it is not..

Instead of enable us to invoke a very small piece of C++ code I would 
prefer to make D more C++ compatible. (And I really hate C++)

&references ... The Rationales do not say a anything about it
The D "compared to C" just says ... We don't have it.

Struct inheritance
Why we need an *alias here instead of just writing structA : structB;
(*D 2.x future docs.)

C++ op overloading; D is not competitive.

Well there is more. But that's not the point. The point is :  Instead of 
implementing new and outstanding features, enable us to translate (at 
least) plain C++ code.

Actually coding C++ code in D  means : rewrite it and make it D-ish, 
instead of translate it.
This is , simply said shit; and I guess you folks know it.
OkeeDok just my opinion
