Please do, I'm curious to hear it. :)

I can't think of any major WATs in D that come from the language itself.
Compiler bugs, OTOH, often elicits a "wat?!" from me, one recent example
being this gem from a friend:

	import std.algorithm, std.stdio;
	void main()
	{
	        int[] arr = [3,4,2,1];
	
	        bool less(int a, int b)
	                { return a < b; }
	        bool greater(int a, int b)
	                { return a > b; }
	
	        {
	                auto dg = &less;
	                sort!(dg)(arr);
	        }
	        //this dg *should* be different from older destroyed dg
	        //rename to dg2 and everything works as expected
	        auto dg = &greater;
	        sort!(dg)(arr);
	
	        writeln(arr);
	        //outputs [1,2,3,4] instead of [4,3,2,1]
	        //change dg variable name in either place and it works
	        //also, if you don't do the 1st sort, it works correctly even with same variable name
	}
