It doesn't return anything now.

I think returning null is ok. Otherwise a redundant check and a lookup  
will be necessary:

Object[char[]] map;
if (auto o = "test" in map) { // this is redundant, in my opinion
     delete map.remove("test");
}

and it is exactly the same as:

if (auto o = "test" in map) {
    map.remove("test");
    delete *o;
}
