Which makes me think of two small unimportant questions I'm curious about:

What will be the 64-bit D calling convention? Will it follow the host 
platform's C calling convention? or will it be more uniform across 
platforms?

Also, why is 32-bit D using its own calling convention instead of 
reusing an already existing one? Why not use the host platform's C 
calling convention?
