It does work in Visual Studio Update 2 according to this 
discussion:

Anyway, if you are going to compare languages, use the latest 
edition of both languages.

Doesn't seem fair to compare D to VS, if it is just as much work 
to use D as it is to use GCC or Clang? AFAIK MS is aiming to 
close the gap, but they have an old backend to work with that 
they claim is holding them back.
