Maybe nothing for some programmers. If C++ suddenly becomes a 
superior language in the future, I know I can start writing C++ 
and call my existing D code. That's one of the things that makes 
me comfortable writing D code today. I'll worry about your 
scenario when C++ is too tempting to avoid - something that is 
not true for me today.
