So instead of writing:

we can write:
extern(Windows, "api-ms-win-core-sysinfo-l1-2-1.dll", [optional

extern(Windows, "kernel32.dll") DWORD GetVersion() for older
Windows
versions (<8).
I know probably a mixin will partially solve this, but this
will save
some important boilerplate code (just look at DerelictOrg
bindings,
thousands LOC just to load some functions from a dll).
Don't, please don't dare me...
I could totally do this with UDA's and CTFE for function
pointers.
Plus my new total secret API could make this trivial to hook
into.
Been there, done that:
https://github.com/rumbu13/sharp/blob/master/src/system/runtime/interopservices/package.d
alias GetVersion =
DllImport!("api-ms-win-core-sysinfo-l1-2-1.dll", "GetVersion",
DWORD function())
I didn't achieve more than that, i consider this ugly,
non-intellisense friendly, that's whay a builtin language
construct will be better. Can't wait to see your total super
secret API :)
