Do you suggest that C++ interfaces should be written by the compiler team?
I'm just saying you need a fairly good knowledge of the low-level workings
on C++ and D, especially if something goes wrong. One example I hit, is
that on windows if you had overloaded virtual functions, they would be
inserted into the vtable backwards. These parts of the compiler are not
very well tested, so if you're not comfortable debugging this sort of thing
it might be better to wait until extern(C++) has seen heavier use.
