Yes I see the higher level as a weakness. It may save you time to 
integrate in D, but tries to hide complexity. Hiding complexity 
can hurt in other ways.

I think I will go for the more C-like binding of DerelictLua; I 
am fine for the shared libraries binding as I don't need static 
bindings, but I guess that could be added without too much effort?
