Comparison chart worries

I don't agree at all that the table is misleading, deceptive, dishonest, 
etc. It says right up front what it is - a comparison of *core* language 
features. You can do anything in a library in any language.

I agree, though, that it is out of date with respect to the latest 
releases of C# and Java.

I also agree that the table is meant to draw attention, with the 
brightly colored boxes, etc. Being a little confrontational helps get 
discussions going. And yes, it throws down the gauntlet and is in your face.

But also, now that 1.0 is here, the time for that may have passed. To 
that end, I've just removed the entries for the non-D languages. People 
coming to D from those languages already know what they can do, and can 
form their own conclusions.
