That's one property of Python's syntax that I like. You never 
argue about brace style because there are no braces.

Regarding the OP's post, I think this process isn't exclusive to 
just D's pull requests. I once worked in a web development 
position and experienced the same basic process of nitpicking. It 
tended to happen less after I figured out how to adopt their 
style. You eventually learn to tailor your code to the people 
you're presenting it to.
