I find this strange:
D can call C++ free functions and virtual member functions but it cannot
call non-virtual or static member functions.
Especially not be able to call static member functions are strange. I
thought that free functions and static member functions where implemented
in the same way. As far as I know they are implemented in the same way in
D.

Adding the C++ interfacing capability was well before my time, so I'm not
sure how it ended up with the current limitations. Maybe someone else does?
I think the issue with static member functions is getting the name
mangling/linking to work, this is obviously never a problem for virtual
functions, and is simpler for free functions. I'll have a go at this
eventually if nobody beats me to it.
Virtual functions needs to be mangled as well. The only thing that, at
least I know about, differs from a free function and a static member
function is the mangling.
