I didn't know about std.path.setExtension. Is there some kind of 
table where I can look up D equivalents to API function calls?

In any event, yes, my question is still relevant. What if I want 
to call some other API function? Or OpenGL? Or something I wrote 
in C++ with "extern(C)" linkage? (Something I do from time to 
time)
