Please don't (ab)use classes/structs as namespace if you don't have a 
really good reason to do so – D offers static and/or selective imports 
for situation where one doesn't want to pollute the scope when importing 
something. When using free functions, one can always do »static import 
etc.curl;«, but there is no way back once a dummy struct is used (well, 
technically I think it would be possible to write a mixin template that 
aliases all struct members into the local scope, but…).
