Suppose I have the trivial console app:

import std.stdio;

static ~this()
{
    writefln("Exiting program");
}

void main()
{
    scope (exit) writefln("Exiting scope");
  for (;;) {
    writefln("xxx");
 }
}

When you press ctrl-C, neither of the exit messages are printed.
What I'd like to do is pop up an "Are you sure?" message box on any attempt to close the program. I could create an invisible window from the console app, but I'm hoping for something less ugly.  I just don't know how to intercept WM_QUIT messages from a console app -- any ideas?

Here's a way to do it with C++:

(I just googled for console events ..)

Thanks! That will do quite nicely.
