the key words are "where it can". rewriting already working tools 
(perfectly working) in D is "marketing for the marketing sake". 
if there are money to waste, an engineer can be hired to rewrite 
such tools. otherwise, it is much wiser to reuse existing ones.

so they should pass-by. D is the language to build tools, not 
some "batteries included" language. this is The Way to market it, 
i believe.
