D structs really aren't necessarily PODs. They can be used as PODs, but they 
don't have to be. A POD is basically a C struct which just holds data. D 
structs are nearly identical to C classes except for the fact that they can't 
have inheritance. They can have functions, destructors data hiding, etc., in 
which case they aren't POD types at all. The D docs should probably be 
changed.
