"NULL" is already used in a ton of WinAPI C/C++ code and MSDN
documentation, it would be a major pain in the ass to have to 
use e.g.
HWND(0) instead.

How's about

  enum NULL = HANDLE(0);

Honestly I hate that, and am convinced the correct way to fix 
this is
for D to add opImplicitCastFrom.

Or multiple alias this:

struct _NULL
{
        HANDLE zero;
        void* ptr;
        alias zero this;
        alias ptr this;
}
