Instead of writing

I could write
loadSymbol!myFunction;
But if no other way is found of doing that, I will do the
massive rewriting.

void function() x;
void load(void* thing, string name) {
// this lhs cast is the magic, the rhs cast unneeded in
reality cuz GetProcAddress returns void* naturally
* cast(void**) thing = cast(void*) 0xdeadbeef;
}
void main() {
// no cast here but yes repeated name
load(&x, "foo");
// casts needed here just to do the comparison
assert(cast(void*) x == cast(void*) 0xdeadbeef);
}

A little void casting inside the function can do the trick. You
will have to pass the name separately though.
im off to bed ttyl
