What burden, it's a bunch of one-liners?

Ignoring this in the first place already broke vibe.d b/c of indexOf.
Who knows what code gets used by the rest of the function and every tiny
breaking change fragments the supported dmd versions of dub packages, making it
unnecessarily hard for people.

The only way we can improve on compiler/language stability is to take it
serious.
