I started some C# to D stuff here: 
https://github.com/rumbu13/sharp/blob/master/cstod.md

Unfortunately, I cannot edit directly on wiki.dlang.org since my 
account is not confirmed (confirmation e-mail is not sent despite 
several attempts).

Anyway, I'm already asking for help from experienced D users to 
translate the following concepts in D:

- decimal type
- dynamic types
- volatile
- boxing/unboxing
- multicast delegates
- events
- yield return
- P/Invoke
- async/await
- linq
- runtime reflection
- serialization
- inlining
- weak references
- implicit casting overload
- COM imports
- templated functions override

I'm not asking for solutions (because I know how to implement 
them in D), I'm asking for guidance about the best D semantics to 
be used instead.
