Making it a link to wikipedia should be plenty. The C++ will know what RAII 
is, and anyone who's learning D should learn it. The combination of an 
example, the brief explanation that's there, and a link to Wikipedia should be 
plenty for people to be able to figure out what they need to know. And it _is_ 
a very important feature for those who know what it means.
