Oh that's funny.

We're not only invited, one of our biggest users of D does exactly this.

"The notable exception is the Weka Virtual File System (VFS) kernel 
driver, which provides the POSIX filesystem interface to applications.
Using the kernel driver provides significantly higher performance than 
what can be achieved using a FUSE user-space driver, and it
allows applications that require full POSIX compatibility to run on a 
shared storage system."
