Perhaps you could answer the OP's question as to "what happened to it"?

One of the things I believe to be a huge improvement over C++ in D is variadic templates. I'm wondering if C++ can do it anyway - my c++ is a bit rusty, but I can't think of a way to do it.

How would you implement something like std.conv.text in C++? The D version is trivial: 5 lines and easily understandable.

If it's as ugly as I'm imagining it is, this is a good example for a pretty big improvement. (Though I still believe the sum of the little improvements are greater than any of the big ones!)

G++ has them now, they are in C++0x: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_0x#Variadic_templates

Last I checked C++ didn't know about strings.

Oops, what the hell?
