I that's a little overly simplistic:
Avoid multiple inheritance from classes with actual data members;
do use multiple inheritance as a stand in for template mixins.
Also as others have mentioned, do use boost.
It's a massive time saver, though there's so much in it, it can be a bit
hard to find the bit which does what you want.

Have a poke through those and you'll find they cover a big chunk of D's
real time savers.
And if you need to do some template programming:
