didn't get the rationale of the DIP at all. the only important case -- 
attribute cancelation -- is either missing, or so well-hidden that i didn't 
found it (except fast mention). everything other looks like atronautical 
complexity for the sake of having some "abstract good" (that is, for all my 
years of using D as the only lanugage i'm writing code into, i never had 
any need to "group defaults" or something -- only to selectively cancel attrs).

tl;dr: ketmar absolutely didn't got what this DIP is about.
