Well, yes, but since D syntax is sufficiently close to C, the difference
is immaterial. :-)

Mostly, anyway.  I can see the preprocessor getting confused by
D-specific syntax like token strings or `` literals, but for the most
part if the purpose is to expand C macros into D code snippets, this
mostly shouldn't matter.
