Well, if it were "Naturally, D compiles to efficient, native code," then it
means something similar to "Obviously, D compiles to efficient, native code."
But the naturally that the original phrase uses is a different definition. So,
yes, if naturally were to keep the same meaning with this suggested rewrite,
it would be Yoda-talk, but most people would probably take it as a different
meaning of the word entirely.
