Thanks for this, looks great.
Could the generated code be annotated with nothrow @nogc too?

I don't know what to say about nothrow. There are WinAPI
functions generating exceptions. For example the code below
trying to allocate size_t.max bytes, even we reserved 10 only:
auto h = HeapCreate(4, 10, 10);
auto p = HeapAlloc(h, 4, size_t.max);
Now, the D runtime catches internally any Windows exception and
throws a generic Win32 Error without any other information, and
of course, this will qualify HeapAlloc as a nothrow function.
In reality, this should not be just an uncatchable Error, but a
full Exception object having the associated error code
(0xC0000017), the associated default message ("Not Enough Quota")
and the value of the offending parameter (0xFFFFFFFF). All this
information is available in SEH records but it is ignored by D
runtime.
