Unable to publish closed source library without workaround and ugly PIMPL

Consider this:

struct S {
int x;
this(int x) { this.x = x; }
int getX() { return x; }
}
----------- file s.di ------------
struct S {
this(int x);
int getX();
}

User code:
import s;
S s = S(3);
writeln(s.getX());
Ta dah! Implementation is hidden, no PIMPL. Of course, inlining of the member
functions won't work, but it won't work in C++, either, when this technique is used.
I.e. you can use .di/.d files just like you'd use .h/.cpp in C++. The technique
works with classes, too.
