I know one of them was during tuple discussions. i.e. to use a..b..c  
instead of (a,b,c) The principal rational was a) '(,)' already has other  
meanings in D and b) '..' would allow for multi-dimensional slicing. But  
people felt this was ugly.

And the multi-dimensional slicing discussions tend to advocate mapping  
a..b to [a,b].
