Has anybody looked into something like a JavaCpp[1] approach
for D?
Instead of trying to get D to speak directly with C++, or
translating C/C++ headers to D, why not use special annotated
D code to generate a middleman .cpp file, which then exports a
D-friendly interface? Then all the dirty work gets handled by
a C++ compiler.
Wouldn't that be an order of a magnitude easier to implement?

I've considered this, and am still considering it, despite not
having heard of javacpp before. Thanks for the link, I'll take
a look.
Also SWIG (for d too) does something like this.
