The core problem is how to make D appealing to C and C++
programmers.
One possibility is that once we have 100% shared library support,
C/C++ programmers can start making use out of a growing base of
very nice libraries written in D that are also made compatible
(to a degree) with C/C++.
That's a potential ice breaker IMO, esp when C/C++ programmers
discover that they will get much more functionality if they
ditched C/C++ and used these libs with native D applications
instead.
This method of conversion to D a relatively safe and simple
migration path.
