This doesn't mean we would need to use any more C++ features like classes or templates, the result could be pretty much "C with exceptions". An added benefit would be automatic eh compatibility with existing C++ code, on all platforms.

Well, on these platforms there isn't a D compiler, so ALL D code would have to be use the C++ eh system. D->D compatibility in this case wouldn't be a problem.
