OK. Whatever it is though, it doesn't look like "language proper" 
material. That is, I'll relegate it to libraryland.

Uh oh, is that a warning to the weary? Should I look for a post called "D 
Quirks"? If you want to make such a list, great, but if you do, please 
try to go from high-level things to esoteric things so those not 
concerned about the latter don't have to wade through them or figure out 
in which classification they belong.

Looks like a good topic for a new thread: D Quirks. I'm too lazy to start 
a new thread right now.
