LOL. I know a lot about C++ and _try_ to know it all, but C++ is just way too 
complicated for that (at least for me). Even if I learn all of the stray 
esoteric stuff, I can't retain it all. There's just too much of it.

With D, I feel like I _might_ be able to do it. I definitely don't know 
everything that there is to know about D, and I don't always remember all of 
the little details that I learn (plus some of them change over time), but I do 
a much better job of remembering it. It doesn't have anywhere near as many 
dark corners to it, and so in spite of its complexity, it at least feels like 
it could all be understood and remembered by one person (unlike C++). So, 
_maybe_ someday I'll be able to claim that I know the D language through and 
through, but I'll definitely _never_ be able to claim that with C++.
