associative arrays

[Kapps]

For most languages (such as C# and maybe Java), the Remove method on 
collections returns a boolean indicating whether it was removed. So you 
could write:

enforce(MyAA.remove("lenght"))
or
bool Result = MyAA.remove("lenght");
assert(Result);

I'm not sure why it doesn't in D, but I thought I remembered seeing a 
pull request or change that added it. Maybe I'm imagining things since I 
can't find it now.
