The only gotcha that comes to my mind is that `private` means
private to the module in D, not private to the aggregate.

A few others that I know:
When importing one module(say ```m2```) into another (say
```m1```), the symbols of ```m1``` aren't automatically visible
in ```m2```. You must import ```m1``` in ```m2``` for that.
You can't just initialize variables willy-nilly in a module, you
must do them inside ```static this()```
Method function pointers don't exist in D, equivalent
functionality is achieved by using a delegate that captures the
context of a class instantiated object.
To use a function pointer explicitly, you can't just write
```(func)(arguments)```, it is ```(&func)(arguments)```(thank you
evilrat)
```sizeof/alignof``` differs in D and C++(thank you evilrat)
