It's a cute idea, and I presume those binding are useful, but if those changes will not be folded back into the D language/compiler, then this idea may eventually die out.

And in my opinion this syntax is not very nice (but I remember why the attribute syntax was not used, so this may be an acceptable compromise):

void getCharacters(wchar* buffer, NSRange range) [getCharacters:range:];
