But portable D code will, so it really _is_ an advantage of the 
language, not just the compiler...

No, the point is that it would only with a particular C++ 
compiler.
It's not "C++" code if a C++ compiler can't run it correctly.
That would make it "a vendor-specific language similar to C++" 
code.
