Not impossible (it's worth saying that you can literally do this 
as a library via mixins), but having a c parser in the compiler 
seems like too much work when it's already fairly trivial to do. 
If D had a team of full time staff on payroll, then it could be 
made to work but it adds so much surface area to the compiler.
