In the mean time, if I want to have objects as lightweight as in 
C++ (in word overhead) can I stabily use extern(C++) instead?

I still don't understand why not split Object into a set of 
interfaces like Printable, Hashable, Comparable and etc. The 
purpose of object itself is to have a common ancestor for all 
objects with a set of certain properties, and this can be easily 
fulfilled by an interface. Additional functionality is 
interpreted by a set of previously mentioned interfaces. Now 
since they are interfaces and no implementation can be there, we 
could provide user with a set of mixin templates that supply 
default behavior for implemented ones.

Those interfaces could also have pure/nothrow etc. subinterfaces 
that an object could implement.

Best regards,
Alexandru.

I just got an answer from Andrei: "This is now a task for Atila 
Neves."

I don't get it. I thought andrei said he will still be taking the 
role of mentoring his students and protoobject is the work of 
Andrei and one of his students. Is andrei no longer mentoring the 
student? Is Atila Neves in charge of that now? His andrei no more 
contributing to D. Is he out of the D ecosystem?

I need more clarification.

Isn't he currently busy with other things at the moment?
