What would be the consequence of implementing interfaces as fat pointers ?

Reference types are very useful. Most programmers are familiar with this
workflow, and it's a convenient way of modelling lots of problems.

I do find myself using a lot more struct's in D though, but that doesn't
void the traditional approach. And I also maintain that these things are
important particularly as a bridge for new D users.
I also feel quite dirty using pointers in D where there is a dedicated
reference type available. I don't want * and & to appear everywhere in my D
code.
