More like dlopen() is for Posix, which means it should be available on
Windows as well.
However, as I've discovered, a D shared library cannot be loaded with
dlopen() because the main program and the shared library would do their
own garbage collection (presumably with separate GC states) without
being aware of each other and this won't work. Runtime.loadLibrary()
knows to do the right thing and both sides are aware of each other.

Yes, but I am talking about core.runtime.Runtime.loadLibrary, which
should call appropriate functions depending on the operating system.

I run Windows with mild disgust :p only for work-related applications.
Otherwise, it's all Linux.
