implicit conversion from bool to char, is it really necessary ?

I agree that implicit conversion from bool to char sounds useless 
or bad. But you already have a D2 language that few people use, 
so to break their code you need an important enough reason :-(

Beside requiring the parentheses about the ?: operator when it's 
part of a larger expression, there are one or two other patterns 
that I'd like to see disallowed in D, like (!x & y). I think 
Walter agreed on disallowing it, but I have not heard about it 
since some time:
