Nice work! One thing I would recommend, though, is that you not
bake in extern(C). Some libraries require extern(System)

So to be robust, you'll want to implement support for both into
SSLL.
Thanks for the advice! I will continue work on ssll and will try
implement this feature.
There are only two declarations required for the dynamic
bindings in BindBC: an alias and a pointer. And of course the
loader is separate. The reason is historical. When I was
working on the earliest version of Derelict back in 2004, we
didn't have all the fancy compile-time features we have now. I
(and a couple of contributors) tried doing it by declaring the
function pointers without aliases, but we ran into a couple of
issues and settled for taking the alias + pointer approach.
(It's been so long that I can't recall what the issues were).
Thanks for the clarification and thanks for Derelict bindings!
