The documentation says that the interface files will only contain the parts of a module's source code that is required for linking, however I read somewhere that it pretty much does nothing but strip out the comments because it needs the full source code for a inlining, CTFE, and templates. So I'd have to manually modify or construct them manually, which means I'll lose some abilities, but that may be OK for some situations.
You cannot both have CTFE/inlining/templates and hide the source code. It's the same as in C++.
For classes and structs, I have no idea how to leave out the implementation details.
You can either use an interface or just not provide an implementation for the methods. Note that it's perfectly fine to have a method in D without an implementation even it's not abstract. This is to support the use case you have here and separate compilation.
I guess you would need to list the fields on classes/structs, again that's just like C++.
