Necessities for Adoption of D

This is shorter and I think it looks better, with less syntax:
auto tb = TextBox(space1).size(400, 200).multiline(1).readonly(0).wrap(1).justify("left");

In D you may want to use camelCase to move your fingers a bit more:
auto tb = TextBox(space1).size(400, 200).multiLine(1).readOnly(0).wrap(1).justify("left");

I don't use D 2.x, but I presume a good Wax-like wrapper can be written for D too :-)
