I'm using it in autowrap to translate the Python headers. Still 
some issues with macros though, that I had to translate by hand. 
But, then again, there's no other way to get around this and I'm 
out of ideas wrt to those particular macros.

You can! Use `--keep-d-files`. But, like object files, I don't 
know why you'd want to check them in.

They're on the file system, but by default they get deleted after 
the binary is generated.

I should probably change that - since nearly everything has dub 
dependencies, using d++ as a compiler makes little sense, and dub 
needs to see the resulting D files to actually use them.
