There already exists a library to do what you're talking about, it's called
glew. And if I were you I'd port that to D aswell, and leave it named as it
is.
People already know what glew does and have lots of existing code written
to use it. It's perfectly good how it is.

How about GLES? That's pretty important these days. I haven't seen a
binding for that yet.
