Excuse the weirdness, I haven't slept all weekend:

Wheels invented in C++ are not really wheels at all!

Nobody can use them but C++ programmers, and even then it often depends on the compiler.

Let us go forth, and find a means of binding C++ obj files such that they may be imported within C and D; that we may inherit their legacy code!

Is it possible to create a D friendly obj file with the dmc?
