I understand what you guys are saying, I agree that not 
everything should be added. But come on,

On a *FEW* things you can support 2 styles.

If you support a few styles on a *few* things, it does not mean 
you have to support everything on all things.

D has features for functional programmers, and byte-level 
programmers too!

In the case where it's a really basic thing that opens up a nice 
level of expressiveness for a different type of programmer, and 
there's no compromise that can bring us both together, it's OK to 
support us both!

Because how can the current 'auto' work for both of us?
How could I ever be happy writing math like that?

The arguments you are making about not adding in every parallel 
idea apply to a really different problem:

Something where the single solution *can* genuinely be worked 
out, *can* genuinely come together for both of us, and the 
language designers know this, and they know better than just 
adding in stuff, and they know that a unified solution is better.

But this is different, it doesn't have that potential for ever 
seeing the unified solution. It's just a small thing, for math 
guys, Come on.
