It's a minimal example to show a syntax, it's not an use case.

With this attitude probably you are able to remove half of the stuff present in D today (and sometimes this is good. After all this time I have changed my mind a little and I don't think associative arrays are so good as built-in in a system language. What's needed is just a general built-in syntax to define AA literals, a syntax usable for user-defined types too).
