On page 249 of TDPL (Andrei's book), in a section on structs and 
postblits, it says "D objects must be relocatable" and other 
similar statements while banning internal pointers.

I knew this applies to structs and the context makes that plainly 
clear, but the word "object" is a bit ambiguous: does this apply 
to classes too?

And object is an instantiation of a class. I guess it could be 
ambiguous but generally I think object = class(misnomer but 
simple). Structs can exist on the heap and be very similar to 
objects and I suppose it is possible to allocate classes on the 
stack so theoretically I guess it is ambiguous but in programming 
parlance it is not.
