Yeah, "no worries" but for example a few weeks ago a bug report 
has drawn my attention:

https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17925

After testing some code with i've indeed observed that the 
transition period for `do` had started...

"since when ?" i've wondered.

Good question, it's even not in the changelog:

https://www.google.fr/search?domains=dlang.org&dcr=0&biw=1280&bih=635&tbs=qdr%3Ay&ei=H34RWpKDPIzTgAatnqK4DA&q=body+do+site%3Adlang.org%2Fchangelog&oq=body+do+site%3Adlang.org%2Fchangelog&gs_l=psy-ab.3...4014.4428.0.4779.3.3.0.0.0.0.67.190.3.3.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..0.0.0....0.AOIgJDEhh_g

So maybe it's wort mentioning something like

"(formerly body, which is still allowed during ....)", because 
there's been a communication problem with that deprecation.
