In a sense. But I don't think the goal is to be able to write C++ code in D. It's just to achieve binary compatibility. Templates in C++ must be declared in header files, and are rarely present in libs. You almost never link a template instance. In the extremely rare event that you want to (I've never wanted to), it's not inconceivable that an extern(C++) template with super-restrictive template parameter rules could be made to mangle the same as C++, and then it truly would be complete :) I personally have no use for this though... but it's probably technically possible.
