Perhaps you could answer the OP's question as to "what happened to it"?

One of the things I believe to be a huge improvement over C++ in D is variadic
templates. I'm wondering if C++ can do it anyway - my c++ is a bit rusty, but I
can't think of a way to do it.

How would you implement something like std.conv.text in C++? The D version is
trivial: 5 lines and easily understandable.

If it's as ugly as I'm imagining it is, this is a good example for a pretty big
improvement. (Though I still believe the sum of the little improvements are
greater than any of the big ones!)

G++ has them now, they are in C++0x:
