 From reading Interfacing to C, it seems like I'd need to generate 
a D interface file for the [not insignificant] erl_nif header, 
and then I'd be able to create a -shared file from D code and 
load it like any other shared object in Erlang?

Yes, should be doable. You can try DStep [1] to automatically generate 
bindings to the Erlang libraries (the erl_nif header).
