Yes. There are a few functions meant to be callable from C
code: rt_init, rt_term, thread_attachThis, thread_detachThis,
etc. These could either be exposed as wrappers on top of
extern (D) functions or left as-is.
Well this is exactly what makes somewhat uneasy about making the
change myself - it isn't immediately obvious which functions are
legitimately extern(C) and which have it only for mangling /
forward declaration.
