If you use D with betterC like c (not cpp),  ImportC will work 
very well.

If you want to use well maintained C library (some of them take 
hundreds of thousands of manpower hours), you will need betterC.

And some library even write by cpp, still provide C interface for 
easy integration with other language like: rust, ruby, lua, php, 
java.


For me ImportC is more important than DIP1040, it open the doors 
for very many possibilities.
