I do not accept gut feeling as a valid objection here. The 
current workarounds is shown to be painful as shown in the dip 
and in the discussions that it currently link. That *the*

I am familiar with the author here, he is very involved with the 
C++<->D compatibility side of things. He knows the pain from 
first hand experience.
