And I just wanted to add that this is considering _language features_, not 
things that can be done with libraries (excluding those points which 
explicitly mention libraries).  So yes, you can do Perl-like regexps, 
multiple return values, iterators, generators, and list comprehensions with 
libraries.   I think it's awesome that D can pretty much provide these 
without much trouble, but these are not language features.
