Is this[1] then out of date and I can interface with
non-virtual methods? Because that's what your post seems to
imply (unless I misunderstood).

Yes. The best place to look for concrete examples of what is
supported is probably the C++ tests in the test suite. (ie
files containing "EXTRA_CPP_SOURCES")
That sounds very cool, I've had a look at [1] and [2], which seem
to be the two files with the new C++ class interfacing. As far as
I could tell, you need to create any instances of C++ classes
with C++ code / you don't bind to the constructors directly from
D and the new instance will not be managed by D's GC? Because if
I used this new interfacing for e.g. llvm-d, I need to be sure,
that D's GC won't touch any of the instances under any
circumstances, since they are freed by LLVM's internal logic they
GC cannot track.
