English. I'm not sure if it exists in other English dialects. In Canada (were are about 1/2 way between the Brits + Americans) at least it was/is a derogatory term for someone who wasn't too bright.

Hi Craig,
The method here is to actually 'import (C++) _;' since that '_'
will make Calypso import all the global
functions/variables/typedefs in gdalwarper.
This works for namespaces also, so if you have a namespace in a
different example called MySpace, then calling 'import (C++)
MySpace._;' will import all the functions/variables/typedefs in
the namespace and make them accessible in your D file.
If you just have a single class in the MySpace namespace called
'myclass', and you would like to use it in your D program, then
use 'import (C++) MySpace.myclass;' to import it. Then
instantiate the class in D and use it from there.
Thanks,
Kelly
Kelly,
Just to clarify then. If gdalwarper.h includes gdal.h and
GDALDatasetH is declared in gdal.h, then gdal.h gets imported too?
