The http://www.digitalmars.com/d/abi.html page says:
A dynamic array consists of:
0: pointer to array data
4: array dimension
This is arse-about-face, surely? If it's correct, then I've got some
seriously helpful magic imps helping me out on code interfacing between C
and D
Yours, puzzled.

Well, the Open-RJ header defines a string as:
struct ORJStringA
{
size_t len; /*!< The number of characters in the string
*/
char const *ptr; /*!< Pointer to the first element in the string
*/
};
The lib links and runs with D, treating the ORJStringA as char[],
seamlessly.

Of course, a simpler way of looking at it is that fmt specifiers for D strings
are %.*s. In C, one would write the args as printf("%.*s\n", len, ptr);
