Technically you have to ask Derelict to load a DLL explicitly, like this:

DerelictSDL.load();

Anyway, it shouldn't be hard to implement "real" delayed loading on top of  
SDL's methods. In fact, you could even enumerate all function variables at  
the module level, and generate delay-loading code at compile time. This  
way you only need to mention any specific DLL function once.
