I keep getting the following:

MeGlWindow.d(171): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression 
(Vector([0.000000F, 1.00000F, 0.000000F])) of type 
Vector!(float, 3) to Vertex

You have to be explicit:

    Vertex[6] triangle = /* [1] */
    [
        Vertex(
            vec3(0.0,  1.0, 0.0),
            vec3(1.0,  0.0, 0.0),   // red
        ),
        ...
    ];

[1] `Vertex triangle[6]` works, but please don't do that.

Thanks. I assume you would prefer I use triangle[] but with 
OpenGL calls the dynamic arrays don't work.  But maybe that is 
another question for another time.
