I haven't really tried a "real world application" as of yet; 
mostly small puzzle-type problems to get a feel for D.

I did run into a problem with this code:

     int answer = to!(int[])(split("7946590 6020978")).sum;

It compiles fine under DMD but gives the error "Error: no 
property 'sum' for type 'int[]'" with GDC.

Yes, that helps. My exe went from 6.9MB to 1MB. The DMD exe is 
370K.
