Oh, you're way ahead on me on that one. I had not noticed the difference. But
since the code is available for both, it should be possible to do, one way or
the other. Any ideas?

Or perhaps it's time to make win32 more like win64. And get rid of optlink in
the process :)

What we have to decide first, though, is how to declare the namespaces in D.
UDA?

I don't think we should be using the module name, since that's completely
unrelated in C++ and D. Declaring functions as statics in a struct could work,
but would conflict with actual nested methods.
