I did encounter some missing symbols, though (`ntohl` and

`pragma(lib, "Ws2_32")` to the top of the file to resolve it.
(And I filed an issue:
https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack-d/issues/120).
Once the linker issues were resolved, all was well.
Yup - I have it running now but the code does seem to be a bit
neglected and I'm seeing a depreciation warning too. I chose it
because it's much the most downloaded serialisation package and
is used in a couple of other popular packages. But it seems to be
moribund...
I simply need a fast binary serialisation lib to read and write a
large list of structs to local disk - it's not for inter-app
communication. The struct is simple and only contains primitive D
data types. If you are aware of any package that would be a
better bet I'd appreciate your advice. Or is there a more direct
way to dump a list from memory to disk and read it back again?
This is the kind of low-level stuff that's rather new to me...
