Well done you've written a library to pass some tests. Now fix the bugs
that you haven't found yet and scalability issues you aren't aware
of...the things that really only spring up when you get 1000+ users
thrashing it each week.
In the meantime I'll use D bindings to FreeImage or similar ilk that's
gone through the wringer several times over.
Sorry I don't mean to sound harsh but that's the reality I'm in right
now pushing D on teams in my workplace. It would be much simpler if
there were quality (idiomatic) D interfaces to existing quality C/C++
libraries.

I've been saying from the beginning that we need both D implementation
of some simpler formats such as PNG AND bindings + implementation for
e.g. FreeImage.
I have NEVER said that we should only use D code. Only an out of the box
experience must not require external code.
I wish people understood that I'm truly trying to meet people half way.
That I'm not advocating NIH syndrome in any form and that other
libraries can benefit us. If used the right way.
