I completely understand your sentiment, but I don't see how 
default construction factors into it. D libraries that *aren't* 
wrappers around C libraries have the same restriction and have to 
make the same interface choices. Or did you mean something else?

Your code looks good, but make sure you either disable postblit 
or implement the postblit operator appropriately. The Rule of 
Three applies well to D.
