No problem. Now that I understand that you are not interested in
hearing my unsolicited opinions on the matter, I shall trouble you
with them no more.

I don't consider the D Style Guide by Walter Bright to be a "minor
stylistic suggestion", I consider it to be part of the D
specificiation.

I quote: "Submissions to Phobos and other official D source code will
follow these guidelines."

I am truly sorry that use of the word "petty" offended you. If it
helps ease tensions, then I apologise for using it.

Sorry, but I'm not registering with a forum just to complain about
something I don't care about. That would be silly.

The onus is on the author of a creative work to please the audience,
not the on audience to register with a forum to open a ticket to
explain to the author why it didn't appeal to them. That's just not
how the world works.
