i found that i can write code "in C style" first, and then gradually 
converting it to be more "D-like". btw, it's a great way to start using D 
for begginers with C expirience: just do it as you are used to, and then 
change some parts as you learned new trick.

it's very useful when converting C libraries to D. i have some libraries 
that is hard/impractical to rewrite from scratch in D, but i want 'em in 
D to ease hacking and improving. so i'm first converting code using D as 
"better C", and then adding better interfaces or rewriting some parts.
