Oh, D is hardly a good example for syntax! Better than C++
doesn't say much..
That said, I don't see how one could prefer 'a -> b -> c' over
'a,b -> c' in this case..

Yes, it's the other way round in Idris, but for once I prefer D's
operator '~': list appending is common enough that it deserves a
proper operator not a doubled one :: like in Idris or other
(Scala?).
