Like any other struct.

Don't think it works.

Yes all it should affect is the mangling.

Mangling on MSVC is different for struct and classes, but other that that nothing I think. The difference in default visibility needs to be consistent regardless of class/struct.
Do note that declaring extern(C++) class makes it a reference type, like all classes in D.
Random other notes:
If you're going in the D -> C++ direction, you control there should be no gotcha's.
The other way round, you need to make sure that the symbol actually exists (if its a template, that it is instantiated).
I think templates work in both directions, i.e. correct mangling coming from C++, and from D. I'm not sure that alias parameters work as they AFAIK don't have an analog in C++.
