Well done you've written a library to pass some tests. Now fix 
the bugs that you haven't found yet and scalability issues you 
aren't aware of...the things that really only spring up when you 
get 1000+ users thrashing it each week.

In the meantime I'll use D bindings to FreeImage or similar ilk 
that's gone through the wringer several times over.

Sorry I don't mean to sound harsh but that's the reality I'm in 
right now pushing D on teams in my workplace. It would be much 
simpler if there were quality (idiomatic) D interfaces to 
existing quality C/C++ libraries.
