FYI, the time function doesn't take a 'number'. It takes a pointer to a 
time_t. If the pointer is non-null, the function stores the returned 
value in the memory to which the argument points. It's common to call 
the function with a null parameter. In C, 0 is often used in code to 
represent null. This is not supported in D. So you have to call the 
function using the null keyword in place of the 0: time(null).
