Just pitching in as somebody that has worked on a few C bindings,
some small some big (current one is XCB, which has the lovely
xproto.h file coming to over 15000 lines). Doing automatic
conversion of C headers, properly, is difficult, if not
impossible. There are all sorts of gotchas and stran

So enum, alias has nothing to do with #define?
Or D requires syntax to support the things i mentioned?
#define can be used for manifest constants and aliases, yes, but
also for many other things, as in the examples from popular
libraries that

Like many other C libraries, OpenSSL implements quite a few
functions in terms of macros for performance reasons, so that
they can be inlined (like [1]). Additional

If you check some lua bindings, libraries tries to simplify the process,
