I'm working on a simple older idea to get it out of the way in

This is not officially reviewable yet, but conveys the gist and could
use some early feedback. Any insight will be appreciated.
Awesome, I remember you talking about this, glad to see it started.
One thing you don't address is the ClassInfo requirement. Every class
instance also has a ClassInfo member, which provides runtime type info,
and the vtable used to call virtual functions. I think this needs to be
discussed in the DIP.
It's a bit confusing that you have typed ProtoObject as extern(C++),
since the vtable layouts between C++ and D are incompatible. What does
this mean?
