Yeah, I think it would be much more interesting (for C++ as well as D) to see
benchmarks in idiomatic D style.  This will likely be slower than code written in
the C-like subset, as there is really not much reason why C-like D code should be
any slower than C.  However, it will give a better indication of how much the
abstractions present in D really cost if you choose to use them.
