Yeah, simply another point of ignorance on my part. Ruby still is 
remarkable for its syntax. When I looked at it and then I look at 
what D does with these fancy features, I saw a similarity. Like a 
double take: where are the parentheses? Where are the arguments? 
I didn't know then and I don't know now what the fine-grained 
implications of doing this are.
