I think Sean's point is that is another historical reason why
we used extern(C), back when pragma(mangle) didn't exist.
Yep.
Since some D types don't exist in C and so have to be passed
differently by convention (static arrays), I think an argument
could be made that we should assume that anything behind an
extern (C) interface is in fact C code. But that's not how it's
treated today, where extern (C) is simply another calling
convention.
