Wrapping C APIs in D functions of same name?

Yes.  Because module imports can be declared as "private" (and are by 
default), you can simply write two seperate modules.  One would contain 
all the extern (C) declarations, and the other containing the D 
wrappers.  The module with the wrappers would import the module with the 
externs (privately), and call the extern functions using the fully 
qualified name of them (e.g. in a module foo.bar with a function func 
taking (param), you'd call it as foo.bar.func(param)).
