In the future, I intend to have it written by Saturday for a

please try to get it to by before then.
Fantastic inititive Adam, thanks for donating your time for
this.
An issue I have tho:
// classes are reference types, so they must be
// initialized. "MyClass c;", unlike in C++, would
// leave c as null, causing a segfault when you try
// to use it.
That is not really true, is it? In C++ "MyClass c;" is actually
THE way to instantiate objects. I know you meant MyClass* but
as it is now it is just plain incorrect.
Eh.. what exactly is incorrect? In C++ "MyClass c;"
stack-allocates the class assuming the default constructor is
there (unless of course this is a member declaration in an object
that's static or heap-allocated). In D it doesn't, it leaves you
with an unitialized reference type.
