As I said, I don't have a lot o experience with templates, so my hability to 
make suggestions is limited to visual improvements. In that case my 
justification is as strong as it can be, for me @() looks better than !() 
and both of them look better than {} since I automatically think of code 
blocks when I see that.
It's not so much "if' it's going to change then how about this?" it's more 
of "given the opportunity to change, I think this would be an improvement".

But as I said to Alexander it's easier for a non regular D programmer, like 
me, to agree with modifications to the sintax.
