I strongly disagree. Dealing with header files, forward feference 
issues, etc. is the #1 reason I don't use C/C++ (really, I could live 
with the rest). D's forward reference errors are basically nonexistent 
within a single module, with the exception of templates, so it's not 
"half-broken" in any way.
