Thank you

Yes, I tried it. Doesn't work. I'm not sure, but apparently the COM
interface member functions in D use stdcall by default, not thiscall.
At least, IUnknown members are correctly declared in com.d as using
stdcall. IMO, the docs should be clearer on that issue.

btw, MSVC++ 2005 allows to set __thiscall explicitly.
