It's ten times easier to write code that way, than the way Manu 
complained about in the OP.

Manu's been trying to convince Walter to allow a compiler fix 
through for over six years 
(https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/4717#issuecomment-116182064); it's not working.

If you want to, you can just sit there making nasty comments 
because it's not an ideal solution. But, my pull request is 
something practical that can make things easier for people who 
just want to write computer programs.

I expect this will be much easier to actually get merged, and 
I'll be happy to see it deprecated whenever `scope` finally gets 
implemented.
