But what benefit can you obtain from this compared to just extern "C" ?

The problem is that C++ and D object models (and hence ABIs) aren't completely
compatible. So we have to stick to the lowest Common Denominator (C) or use
some component model like COM (it's already supported), CORBA, .NET CLR or JVM.
