This info from stackoverflow also seems to imply that
MappedByteBuffer would be required for some of the capnproto
features. So, could you explain a little more about what are
the capabilities of the current d library implementation, with
just the ByteBuffer implemented from the java nio code?
Thanks, Jay

The port of ByteBuffer just wraps a slice when reading in D.
Take a look at FileDescriptor[1]. It is a class I've added to
support read/write using File from std.stdio. You can create a
similar streamer using std.mmfile. I believe that this would be
enough for memory mapped reading.
