Just ignore it. And don't forget the primary betterC's goal.
It was never designed to please some C developers to take profit 
from D without dealing with D full runtime but to help migrating 
from historical C/C++ compiler backend to a fully D native 
compiler backend.

The objective is to obtain bootstraping and get rid of all other 
language's dependencies, which will be a huge advantage and 
advertising for D use and in extenso, D community and 
penetration-market.

Convincing C developpers to try out betterC is "just" a temporary 
(and positive) side-effect.
