I'm curious what bearophile is referring to, too. We've worked hard to ensure 
that C code either produces the same result (as defined behavior in C would) or 
fails to compile.

And I'd add to that that the performance of C code written in D should match or 
exceed performance of the same code compiled with a C compiler.

I'd put this under the heading of "D As A Better C".
