Things that may be removed

SFINAE

Accidental use of SFINAE  is confusing.

Code using SFINAE is tough or impossible to follow.

Use of SFINAE can lead to longer compile times.

Removing SFINAE will expose shortfalls in D's metaprogramming facilities.

Combining all of these faults into a templated library and you have C++'s STL or Boost all over again. They're amazingly useful in C++, but D can do far better!
