That's a good point. But can't you do:

extern(C) {
    ...
}

for that? Well, some signatures might leek in the interface, but if they 
are hard to understand (I could learn them, but if there's a simpler 
notation, what for?) than it'll be harder to use for D users, and 
they'll feel they are programming in a mix of C and D, not in D.
