run the OC converter as your "C" compiler.

That is not completely true if one is picky. The following code is legal C, but not legal Objective-C :

int id;
int nil;

In Objective-C "id" is a type.
I suppose this symptom will repeat in the future. I mean, for a particular file extension there may be several code importers. An (exotic?) example might be when some existing code uses one converter, but for some reason new code should use a different one.

What about using the something like this:

mixin convertImport!"header.h";

with ability to specify a particular converter as second template parameter?
