The advantage C++ had (soooooo..long...ago....for doing this), 
was that C programmers would be more likely to move towards using 
C++. That is what made C++ popular after all.

But that was a long......time.........ago....

C programmers have had enough time to move to a newer language.

If they still program in C, I don't see them moving to D anytime 
soon.

Nor do I see D programmers moving (back) to C.

So I fail to see the benefit in having D and C flying around 
together...
