You have my sympathy. Since working with D, I don't think I've *ever*
used the "declare then implement" model. My personal opinion is that the

That would be a problem because of documentation. You need to be able to
include stubbed out functions for ddoc (Phobos generally does that with
version(StdDdoc) when it needs to), otherwise platform-specific stuff
doesn't
end up in the documentation when you generate it on _other_ platforms.
And I
think that it would be unreasonable to require that that be done with .di
files.
Creating a stub function with implementation is quite easy.
