Agreed.

Maybe, but sober observers will realize that Walter could 
probably have done something similar in C++. That doesn't negate 
your point though, that it's a good ad for D.

I made a first pass through. I notice that almost every 'alias' 
is of the form

   alias existing_name new_name;

I thought that in the latest D the alias syntax was

   alias new_name = existing_name;

Should I be following Walter's lead with respect to alias?
