Saw that - pretty amazing.

The motivation sounds great. I think one area of focus going forward 
might be defining precisely the subset of D supported (e.g. I suppose 
pointer semantics would be difficult). I presume most of Safe D would be 
supported, but there's no formal definition of that either :o). Si this 
area is ripe for development.
