Sure there is. ≡ in Unicode (\u2261), or === in plain ASCII.
It's just that it was removed from the language in DMD 0.126 ?

But I don't really see the point of bringing the old thread up ?
It's even more futile than the whole "Boolean wars" thing was...


If you don't like !is, then !do use it ? I don't think it'll change.
It's just a kludge to fill a place for the "TOKnotidentity" token.

*I* hate the ireal and creal types, but those are staying as well...
Is it important enough to choose another language for ? Not to me.

Then again I cheated, by just going back to the bad old C syntax.
Just like you, I don't think I would have liked the "!is" either.

PS. My own suggestion was ~is, which works the same as ~this does.
     Was slightly more readable, but still a bit hard on the brain.
