I had the same thought.  But how much value is there in offering this 
feature?  Since D defaults to trap values when possible, the user should 
typically check all values that may have been default initialized before 
using them, and this seems to reduce the utility of this syntax.  Though 
I suppose this doesn't change the fact that there is a simple, valid 
solution to the problem, which is the point you were trying to make.
