Indeed, D should try to focus on making generic programming less 
tedious and more principled.

The problem Meta had was largely due to lack of restrictions in 
how name lookup/import and functions as properties work. Which is 
kinda problematic for programming-in-the-large which D is meant 
to do well.

This is just hacking on band-aids over the symptoms rather than 
fixing the cause.
