If you program in D's betterC subset as I do, then the story 
varies.

Many of the 'characteristics that are analogous to C remain':

D, even with its betterC subset certainly raises the bar over C - 
there is no doubt about that.But many of the issues raised in 
'The Wrong Memory' still apply to that subset.
