Strict typing and explicitness has a real effect on code 
legibility and maintenance. D is trying too hard to be a 
scripting language. Taking away getter/setter typing just 
reinforce that impression.

Introduce a pipeline operator. Chaining processes with dot 
operators has always been an ugly old OO hack.

If it is hard to decide then that probably means that the model 
is flawed and needs more work.

D really needs to start strengthening the type system, rather 
than eroding it.
