Here b is an ubyte[] of length 5. I think this works:

assert(b == [0, 2, 1, 6, 5], text(b));

Because this works:

void main() {
     ubyte[] a = [1, 2];
     assert(a == [1, 2]);
}

I read that as "5 seconds" :-(

This is a reduction of the Color class of GtkD:

public class Color {
     this(ubyte red, ubyte green, ubyte blue) {}
}

There is no need to use those casts:

void main() {
     auto _black = new Color(0, 0, 0);
}

"cast(ushort)-1" isn't a good idiom in D. Better to write 
"ushort.max".


I don't think your examples justify the increased language 
complexity.
