But it is at least a _standard_ way of doing it, compatible across
platforms,
and partially eliminating the need for makefiles. Another programmer would
just compile the program with a single call to dmd, and you don't have to
write makefiles or bat-files..

True

if there's going to be any option settings I like the openGL way.

glEnable/glDisable;

would be something lie

dEnable(D_STRICT_BOOL);
    if (a) { .... }
dDisable(D_STRICT_BOOL);

I treat them as a code block so I indent the middle. OpenGL also can push/pop these values on the stack, but I thing that would probably would give the complier a headake.

Or parhaps

dEnable (D_STRICT_BOOL)
{


}

But I'm talking in a general sense; if there were any optional things in d. The d format should probably be worked out first though.
