Well, everything that gets added by the D.Net compiler but that wasn't in your code?

Well, units are absolutely poor compared to namespaces. Also the coupling between filename and unit name (thus namespace) is not exactly what I would call superior or even equal to how other ..Net languages handle it.
A D.Net developer has a lot of disadvantages because D.Net tries to mimic Delphi32. And there's no way to turn this compatibility stuff off.
