Well, what's the definition of "hidden" here? The access to "std" stuff
(varargs, intrinsics etc) might be done via pragmas in magic GCC modules,
but many user-accessible things need to be exposed via pragmas anyway.
And they need to be accessible from D - eg: how do you set GCCs align
attribute from D?... [1]

[1] via pragmas; D's "align" does not count.
