LOL. Yeah. There's just so many little things that D improves on that when 
you're stuck in C++ land, you're constantly running into little things that you 
miss having or are annoyed to have to deal with. auto has probably been the 
biggest one for me, though slicing isn't far behind. At least auto will be in 
C++ 0x...

I dream of the day that I'll be able to use D all of the time and not have to 
worry about C++ anymore.
