True, if you're the only one coding. But if there are 20 different 
people working on a project, who know 20 different subsets of the 
language, then it becomes a huge issue. Especially if you're maintaining 
code written by someone else. This is a big issue with C++, since there 
are so many weird & unexpected rules, and it's becoming so with D as new 
features are added.
