That's probably what I'll end up doing, although the function that I wanted 
to do this with was main (so basically I could "intercept" the call to main 
in my library, and call the user-defined "LibMain" or something to that 
effect).  Of course, seeing that D is an OOP language, I might as well make 
some kind of context class that wraps the entire program, ending you up with 
something like:

abstract class Context
{
...
}

class MyContext : Context
{
    // override all those stubbed-out methods
}

void main(char[][] args)
{
    MyContext c = new MyContext();
    c.main(args);
}
