Let me rephrase that in a proper way.

Functional style is very painful right now. Function you pass as 
argument are executed implicitly, function as variable don't 
behave like native ones, and with the new proposal, it add 
confusion on the function returned.

It is kind of dumb that D do not promote functional style as it 
has shown to solve many problems that arise right now.
