Do we have to be so immature about this, it's an actual topic rather 
than the random trolls that have been posted by many here.

I was originally asking about the ambiguity of not having the extra 
colon but anyway:

Yes I agree double dot for case range is inconsistent with the double 
dot for range due to one being inclusive of the endpoint. berophile 
suggested using tripple dot in announce and he got "why?" as a reply. 
The "why" has already been posted but the "why not" hasn't yet people 
reply to me with "here we go again!".

Alternatively don't use dots.

I think the issue with the extra "case" and/ ";" needs to be treated 
differently. There or not the syntax may seem inconsistent to new D users.
