According to Walter (cf. https://digitalmars.com/articles/hits.pdf,
slide 5), D was designed with the assumption of running on a 32-bit or
higher CPU.  How is this handled in the AVR case?  Or is this strictly
only for betterC? (Even with -betterC I'm having some trouble imagining
how basic D features might work on an 8-bit controller.)

Not questioning your work -- I think this is awesome -- but just curious
about the practical implications of writing D for an 8-bit environment.
