I stand corrected. I remembered something about druntime being 
used but last time I checked front end code was filled with 
strcpm and strlen, wrongly assumed that druntime was not used. Oh

Still, probably D compilers will benefit from fixing mangling 
bugs and allow more integration with C++ std, right?
