I'm specifically thinking of the GNU Octave codebase:

It's a fairly old and complicated C++ codebase. I would like to
see if I could slowly introduce some D in it, anywhere.
Now, as I understand it, I would need to begin with making
`main` a D function, because D needs to initialise the runtime.
Is this correct?
With respect to this part of your question, you might want to
check out
https://dlang.org/spec/betterc.html
and especially the limitations
https://dlang.org/spec/betterc.html#consequences
It shouldn't take much to do this, but the limitations of betterC
are not minor.
