Looks very nice. I have a similar (but probably more basic) thing, too (just 
one function: "prompt"):

http://www.dsource.org/projects/semitwist/browser/trunk/src/semitwist/cmd/plain.d#L216


// -- Basic string prompt ------
string input1 = prompt("Type some stuff: ");

// -- String prompt with validation ------
// (failureMsg is optional)
string promptMsg = "Do you want 'coffee' or 'tea'? ";
string failureMsg = "Please enter 'coffee' or 'tea', not '%s'";
bool accept(string input)
{
    return ["coffee", "tea"].contains(tolower(input));
}

// This will *not* return until the user enters a valid choice,
// so we don't need to do any more validation.
string input2 = prompt(promptMsg, &accept, failureMsg);
