assuming you are writing a program in C - would the ImportC 
feature enable you to write headers in C (like in your existing 
codebase) and then import them for implementation in D?

This would very neatly allow using D in C projects without 
duplicating the struct types, typedef, etc. in both C and D files.

For example, allows to use directly C single-header only libs, 
like Nuklear : https://github.com/Immediate-Mode-UI/Nuklear

I'd expect this to work using the ast formater residing in the 
dmd.hdrgen module.
