Ugh, no, you can't use C as well as D. Dare I say, C is only for 
maintenance of legacy code; if you have a choice, use D, it's 
just better. Non-starters are GC and exceptions. Asserts and 
bounds checking are one-liners (and for really minimal code even 
they are not needed), string switch is another couple of lines 
and you get the type system and all the compile time capabilities 
of D that you're never going to have in C (that modern 
convenience and modelling power).
