This is (was) on purpose. I should probably change that now, since it will confuse people. I had for a short time a mess in the generators and tried to use the D generator to build for another language too, which required the explicit \0 and .ptr > Also, it looks like loading each extension requires scanning all > available extension names, e.g. loading 25 extensions requires 25 linear > scans of the extension list.

I was thinking of that, too, but caching the OpenGL call to glGetStringi, I don't think you can prevent the linear searches.
