The way i see what's available is to take a look at the files 
installed by the compiler. The directory is different for all 
operating systems but it's great to look at the source code of 
all the different modules.

For example on Mac OSX 10.8.5 'core.stdc.config' is located at 
'/usr/share/dmd/src/druntime/src/core/stdc/config.d'. There you 
can see how the types are constructed and what they represent. 
For Linux just type 'locate config.d' in the terminal. For 
Windows it's all in 'C:\d' i think.
