Just so others know, coding of Calypso continues and more of the 
STL is working now. Currently these C++ files can be mapped and 
used from a D program with Calypso:

bitset
deque
foreach
list
map
set
stack
string
vector
vstring  <-- just a vector of strings, but at least using classes 
in combination is working.


Not all functions in these files work, but a significant portion 
do in most cases above. Iterators are still not working due to 
class value support being incomplete, but hopefully it will be 
working soon. Thanks to Elie for moving forward with this.

Coding continues :)

Thanks,
