curl_easy_getinfo expects the C handle, CURL*, but you are
passing it the D struct, Curl.
I don't understand why this even compiles, it should give an
invalid argument type error.... let me guess, it has `alias void
CURL`... hey look, there it is:

thanks, zero typechecks. It really should be an opaque struct.
Lemme guess too, it was a typedef in C.

gee, typedef and alias aren't the same! This is a bug. A REALLY
common bug.
Anyway, as to your specific instance, the D Curl struct has no
public function to return the underlying C handle. To use the C
functions, you'll have to create them using C functions too.
