This is a great point and deserves to be highlighted:  D was meant to be a better
C++, not a better C.  If someone won't use C++ instead of C (apparently there are
a decent amount of these people), then there's not a snowball's chance in hell
they'd use D, even if we fixed the binary size issue, made D more usable without a
GC, and in general made it in every way at least as efficient as C++.
