On my (high-mem) home PC, it does help to reduce the memory footprint
somewhat.  But unfortunately, not enough to make compilation work on the
low-mem systems on all except the most trivial of programs.  So still
no-go.

Have not tried. Maybe I'll give it a shot when I have some time. I'm not
a fan, though. Using -betterC loses some of the key advantages D offers
over C, and would probably not be incentive enough for my colleagues to
consider adopting D. (We had tried C++ before and given up on it, so
whatever is going to displace C in this space better offer a LOT more
than C++ ever did. Simply being yet another variant of C isn't going to
cut it.)
