Yeah, readline is a really nice lib, super simple interface. I 
think it is in large part responsible for the GPL's success too 
since it is so useful, so simple, and so correctly licensed :)

And knowing how extern(C) is so easy is good to know too - using 
any C lib from D  can be done similarly and for a lot of libs it 
is actually this simple.

BTW I also have a comparable function in my terminal.d:

though of course then you gotta download my code file and add it 
to your build (which is easy but still). mine also works on 
windows!
