What I was referring to above was to interface with Objective-C without 
using a bridge. That is just very verbose and tedious. There's a lot of 
code to write just to create a new class, call a method and so on.

The problem with the D/Objective-C bridge is bloat. A Hello World 
application written using the bridge takes around 60MB. It also slows 
down compilation time.
