We didn't add copy ctors in the name of C++ interop, we added it in
the name of "postblit was broken".
D has gaps, and you can usually get by if you squint and look the
other way, but there's things that really need to be fixed, like the
copy semantics.

There have been no compromises to language that I know if in the name
of C++ interop. No effect other than an extern statement.
