Still adding D features, I see!
Now if only they could bring over some of D's superior
template syntax, all of the <>'s are so damned ugly, Or type
reflection features(is this even possible in c++?).
Ugh, D's template syntax is far from superior :-(.
What kind of type reflection are you thinking of? C++ has
static type traits and some very limited dynamic reflection for
classes with virtual functions, but C++ is nowhere near
Python's capabilities.
C++ does have a special interest group working on reflection:

D's template syntax is vastly superior to C++...
C++ has post pended vtable pointers on class objects, its
unlikely good reflection can ever be added to the language, as
the vtable may be in a different place in every object their is
no way to access it universally for object type information. Some
Compile time type reflection might be possible, But I bet it ends
up being flimsy.
