Well, I'm surprised to be getting people agreeing, I kind of expected to 
be the black sheep here.
I was kind of serious about the functional dialect of D though. It seems 
Walter is keenly interested in exploring functional techniques, so this 
might be a better way to get them implemented. No need to hack up D and 
make it too complicated.
