Please stop polluting D 2.0 with C/C++ programmer assumptions.

Generally having two different but similar syntaxes to express the same thing is a quite bad thing for a programming language, because they add complexity to the language, the parser, make the manuals longer, it's confusing if you read code written by other people that keeps mixing the two, etc.
Regarding the C-style array declarations, I don't like them, but I think they don't damage D much.
The C-style function pointers aren't readable enough, and D has already a better (but probably too much long, "fun" or "func" or "def" or something like that is shorter than function) syntax, and I think the old syntax may be dropped...
