That cannot work due to the slicing problem.
C++ cannot have value type classes either for the same reason.

I like the distinction between class and struct in D. It
encourages you to think harder about how you intend to use your
types. In C++, there may as well only be one or the other; the

Ditto for t3. Classes are reference objects, not value objects,
so you must explicitly instantiate inst

Anyone wanna try converting this C++ example to D?
(I tried, but getting nowhere.. so far).
