What you are saying is, ImportC is only useful for, well, ImportC.

I'm sorry, but I can't understand your game here. A few posts 
back you're saying:

Yet, for maintaining multiple obscure dialects of D there IS 
enough staff? So, is there enough, or is there not?

There's D, there's worseD ("better" C if you want). Now there's 
evenWorseD, which is basically going back straight to C. And I 
picked D specifically because I wanted to break free from C/C++.

What is your goal even, do you care about D at all? I'm going to 
great lengths to write software that's pure D, and when the 
creator of D gives up and starts "fixing" other languages, that's 
a huge off point to many.
