Hello Jacob.
It think DStep and CPP2D have very different objectives.
DStep target C and Objective-C headers, but CPP2D target C++ full 
source code.

Maybe do you think I could participate to DStep in order to 
extend it to full C++ source handling?
Yes I could. Like I could participate to VisualD/cpp2d or 
magicport2 projects.

But the reason why I didn't is I want to test the feasibility of 
a C++ to D conversion using the clang parser.
Now, I think I passed the proof of concept step, and merge my 
work in an other project is not out of the question.
