What about inheritance, polymorphism and virtual methods that 
aren't supported by D structs? I'm worried that it's going be a 
lot harder to reimplement everything in structs.

Atm to quickly make functions that take or return class values 
work what's missing is implicit casts between the class value 
types I added recently (the hacky TypeValueof) and the normal 
class types, and support in codegen. So it's not too far away I 
think.
