I've always thought an up and coming language should have a tool to 
automatically convert to C or C++ code. That allows support for all platforms 
supported by C/C++ and making a self-hosted compiler.

How hard would a D to C++ converter be? I think ABI compatibility would be 
impossible, but might not be too big of a limitation. If such a thing existed, 
is it possible to incrementally convert pieces of the compiler to D?
