I'm not sure what to hope for here.

Does this mean we'll be able to, say, scan a directory, and dynamically 
load D plugins from it, with proper exception handling, threading, etc., 
across the app/library/plugin divide?

And will it work the same way on different platforms, so you can build 
the (right binaries, obviously) for the platform, and load it the same 
way, with the underlying code taking care of the details?
