Andrei mentions in this talk, that C++ support is implemented to
the extent, when you can pass std::vector from C++ to D and in
the opposite direction without friction.

Are the any pointers on how I can try it out? Like, is it in git
master? Where can I find a documentation or an article about that?

The corresponding section on the site
(http://dlang.org/cpp_interface.html) says:

> D templates have little in common with C++ templates, and it is very unlikely that any sort of reasonable method could be found to express C++ templates in a link-compatible way with D.
> This means that the C++ STL, and C++ Boost, likely will never be accessible from D.

And I assume this is no longer true. So, anywhere I can look for
it?

I got interested in the very same part.

Take a look here [1] and here [2]
You must use the current git master (Digger [3] can help you with an easy build of it).

Note that some template mangling are still broken, and there are problems with the pass-by-ref, but, well, somehow it works!
