I can't seem to find any docs about this, and I'm too thick to understand 
it.

for example:

use(context) in (GL gl) {    draw(gl);}what the hell is this? How does it 
work? Why would one wan't it? etc...Explain it to me like I'm a retard, 
because I am. As far as I understand, "context" in this case is a delegate, 
which has gl as "in" and.. now what?thanks

use is presumably a function that returns a temporary struct.

The temporary struct defines opIn.

The (GL gl) { } is a delegate literal that takes a GL parameter.

So this code calls the temporary struct's opIn with a (void?) delegate(GL).

Hope it helps.

 delegate(GL).

so basically all of this "in" and delegate literal is something like a 
fancy callback?

Basically, yes. :)

I love D, among other things, for its ability to easily declare and pass around
small snippets of behavior, i.e. delegate literals :)
