If you want stability, you're a lot better off using tested C 
bindings than a lightly-tested native D binding. One of the 
advantages of D's interoperability with C libraries is that you 
don't have to rewrite code. A bigger advantage is that you can 
take advantage of all the testing that has been done on those C 
libraries.
