You read way more code than you write. By way more I mean WAY WAY MORE !

Additionally, this make the task harder for any new dev. This is 
nonsense, and a recipe for failure. D has enough in it to scare 
beginners. No need to add some more.

BTW, I'm not aware of any successful recent language using a lot of 
abbreviations in its standard lib. That is not a proof, but definitively 
should be looked at.
