I really feel like D needs to get over it's "not invented here"

reinvent this stuff. It's been done, just use the already working
version! Why have all this great c and c++ interop if we never use it.
I have the same gripe with how the experimental.image is doing image
loading/saving, there are plenty of already existing image libraries
that already support every image format you could ever dream of. Just
use them, they will work 1000x better than any reinvention that we do
here.

If only the effort writing "native-D" reinvented unproven, untested
wheels was spent writing quality D wrappers over existing proven and
tested libraries....
