D does not support this. It only enables it.
You (and others) may well argue that D should not enable this
(directly), it should only support it (indirectly), and thus
allow the language to force an important design decision onto
programmers.
As a programmer, I don't think that is acceptable.
The response was to your claim that "I think what you could say
is that D lacks _encapsulation_ which is also an OOP concept. So
D is partially OOP but not fully OOP due to there being no
encapsulation in the language."
Mike demonstrated clearly that your claim is false.
