I was wondering why you were championing this idea and agreeing with the posted link in almost every way. Then I went back to the link and figured it out :)
P.S. thank you for everything you have done with D. I read in another HN thread about Better C, and it convinced me that D is the language I should be investing my time in learning and using.
A good tool to check out, but which hasn't been promoted much because it's new, is dpp[1]. You can directly reference C header files in your D code. With that, betterC mode becomes a viable option for adding to an existing C project.
