Does D have too many features?

This is not needed in D for structs. Try it.

Walter accepted to deprecate it lot of time ago, but it's not 
implemented yet.

If you write an array literal with many strings inside, and you 
forget a comma, you get less strings, silently. This is a source 
of real bugs. C# too disallows this, I think.

Right, the precedence of the ~ operator different from the 
precedence of the invisible space operator. This causes some 
disadvantages. But I think the advantages in gained correctness 
are more important.
