           Summary: BufferedFile this(HANDLE) uses undefined type.
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: jlquinn optonline.net

HANDLE is a Windows-specific type.  It doesn't belong in the general Phobos
API.

However if it's going to be there, it needs to be a documented type and be
obtainable in a platform-independent manner.

You are misunderstanding the purpose of such constructors.

Ignore my last comment.

HANDLE is aliased to int on Posix. BufferedFile is inside std.stream, and the
constructor which takes a HANDLE is not in a version(Windows).

Sorry for the knee-jerk close, I thought you were talking about something in
std.stdio which allows construction from a HANDLE on Windows platforms.

For the record, std.stream is generally regarded as obsolete code which simply
hasn't been rewritten yet. You may find that this is by far not the only poor
design decision in the module.

That's certainly fine.  It might make sense to put a note at the top of the
std.stream page that features are subject to change.
