True.  I suppose I should have said "most other languages I've used" :-p 
  I'm wondering if it's fair to include languages that don't support 
operator overloading though, or multiple calling conventions.  Can a 
strong parallel be drawn between D and any of the languages you mention, 
insofar as this issue is concerned?
