using D? I don't. This may well be the first time it's been employed
in this specific manner.

FWIW, I tried D in a simple project using an atmega32a. It almost worked
(thanks to Webfreak and LDC people), but there were a couple of issues:
1. No support for ISRs. I had to implement thunks in C calling D.
2. No slices, because 'length' is typed as 32-bit. Worked around by
accessing the array's elements via .ptr.
3. No foreach (as a consequence of 2, I guess)
Does this form of foreach work?
foreach(i; 0 .. 10)
