Yea. Just recently I was porting DVM to Windows, which required accessing 
the registry. Tango didn't seem to have any real registry functions, just 
some Win32 bindings, and it didn't take long at all before I had both a 
heavily D-ified low-level wrapper (complete with a fairly robust conversion 
system for "windows error code" -> D exception), and a nice easy high-level 
RAII struct interface to go on top of it. And most of the work came from 
figuring out all the details of the Win32's registry API, which I had never 
even dealt with before.

I ended up feeling doing the same thing in C/C++ would have been very 
painful indeed, and it's a C-native API!
