Exactly. The big problem is that C uses textual include and D uses 
symbolic include. I can only translate what's defined in the header file 
and not included by other header files. I mean, I don't want to 
translate half of the standard C library for each header file. That 
means I can't really translate the umbrella header file.

Yeah, I agree.
