I haven't tried the latest iteration of betterC yet, but the 
longstanding problem is that the compiler generates TypeInfo 
instances for structs, and TypeInfos are classes, which inherit 
from Object, which are implemented in the D runtime.  If you're 
using the current release of D, the workarounds are to include an 
implementation of Object so that classes work, or hack out the 
TypeInfo at link time.
