There are currently two problems with binding c++ value types and c++ value type templates.

1. Semantics are somewhat different. Copying / constructor / destructing / operator overloading is a issue.
2. Only templates which are instantiated on the c++ side can be used.

Now it would be nice if I could tell a type, that it should be mangled like a C++ type but only if it is used in a C++ function signature. The entire type would still be implemented on the D side and the implementor would have to garantuee that the binary layout is the same as on the C++ side.

You don't need to tell the type anything, this is how all structs work by default. One thing you need to be very careful about is making sure that both languages see the struct as POD or non-POD, otherwise they may disagree on how to pass it to/return it from functions.

What problems have you been having with this approach?
