How about "auto" parameters?

A simple solution to the long like JCP process in Java.

If the aim is to grow D into a large community, popular hated syntactic 
sugar counts!!! Plain old fact.

How did people in Java overcome the need of new syntactic sugar and 
still keep the some original bytecode design?
See this URL:
http://www.javac.info/closures-v05.html

Example. The variable declaration
{int,String=>Number throws IOException} xyzzy;
is *translated into*
interface Function1<R,A2,throws E> { // system-generated
     R invoke(int x1, A2 x2) throws E;
}
Function1<? extends Number,? super String,? extends IOException> xyzzy;

Original syntax kept, original binary generated is also kept. No changes
to the JVM and NO changes to the API.

Just overcome that with the compilation and linking process. Just a 
'simpleton' suggestion, yes?

Just ensure someone filter the list on new feature, so that it will meet:
to consistently *do the right thing* within the constraints it chose

My dear 'friends', this is like deciding what is the best official 
language in a world conference. Not possible.

IT world tried once with XML protocol and look at the end results?
Not a total failure, but went further and further away from that 
original goal.

Then JSON, BSON, YAML... so on and so on...

Did Java XML talk transparently with C# or C++ XML?

See a software developers common thinking pattern here?
D need to open up and tries to see how to pick the syntax people
like.

I am just citing an example in english, it could have been 
french/spanish/...
I am sure, before poetry format are created in the past for english
language, the same content can be communicated via point form sentences.
But poetry is formed because it also communicate more beautifully,
emotion can be attached to the content?

That my 'friend' is the syntactic sugar in the human language.

Hopefully you understand what the current direction of the programming
language seems to be going?
