Python and Pony use (). C++17 uses []. Perhaps D should use <>? [not a 
serious question]

It was hard for me not to use angled brackets for templates when I started 
with D, but now it's second nature. I think you're right, familiarity with 
other languages is important, but it isn't everything.

I'm not sure I like the idea of ever reading `foo((a, b), c);`, but like 
templates, I'd get used to it.
