I imagine C++ would be virtually impossible, but how hard can it 
possibly be to translate **non-preprocessor-abusing** C code to D?  D is 
almost a superset of C.  The only incompatibilities I can think of are 
the preprocessor/module system, bitfields, and some minor syntactic 
differences.  Am I missing anything important?
