Does anyone have an example snippet code connecting to, reading

Channel? Something in a personal project you wouldn't mind 
sharing a part of to let me dissect?

My project (IRC bot) supports connecting to a server using SSL, 
for which I'm currently using OpenSSL with 
[requests.ssl_adapter](https://github.com/ikod/dlang-requests/blob/master/source/requ
sts/ssl_adapter.d). It's a simple thing that just sets up an SSL context,
connects using the normal `Socket.connect`, establishes SSL, and then uses
OpenSSL functions to read and write instead of Phobos' `Socket.{receive,send}`.
It works, but unlike in Linux where OpenSSL is ubiquitous, on Windows you have
to manually download and install OpenSSL from a third-party site. It still
works, but it's not ideal.

Frustratingly there is no `std.socket.ssl`.

I'm helplessly a Linux creature and I don't know where to start. 
Does anyone have anything I could look at?

I have to agree.  For those just getting to grips with D there 
are some things in the library that just make using them much 
more difficult than they ought to be, or altogether impossible.
