Getting rid of the monitor field was discussed multiple times.
You don't have to get rid of it, just implicitly declare it for classes that use monitors? I don't think it has to be at a specific offset?
The other major and not so trivial difference is that extern(C++) classes have no TypeInfo pointer (in the first vtable slot for extern(D) classes), which also means that dynamic casts don't work, neither in D nor in C++ (for the latter, only for instances instiantiated on the D side). [AFAIK, most C++ implementations put the - of course totally incompatible - *C++* TypeInfo into vtable slot -1.]
But D could just extend C++ typeinfo?
