My bet is that D users will be able to produce the same sort of quick-fix libraries.

To a certain extent, but some things are just easier in a dynamic language. Like reading a xml file, then decorate the nodes with your own class attributes an properties, transform it and dump it back to file.
Sure, you can do it in a stricter languge, but only if the library author planned for it.
