The thing is, as I understand it, you should be able to use the native 
types and standard library types/functions through the WinRT API. So you 
would basically build, for example, a (or a couple of) WinRT range(s)to 
be able to iterate D collections.

I'm not sure if the language runtime needs to be changed. It depends on 
what's expected from the WinRT API.
