Thanks. I guess what bugs me is that I always try to hide the
fact that the API is a wrapper around C stuff, ie, I want to
make people feel as though they're using idiomatic D. Doing
something like this makes it feel like less idiomatic D and
more like a wrapper. I think I have a solution that I like in
my own case though. Right now I'm considering something like

I completely understand your sentiment, but I don't see how
default construction factors into it. D libraries that *aren't*
wrappers around C libraries have the same restriction and have to
make the same interface choices. Or did you mean something else?
Your code looks good, but make sure you either disable postblit
or implement the postblit operator appropriately. The Rule of
Three applies well to D.
