It did not force you to do that because you did not inherit that 
base class.

You started with complaints about how verbose D was with the 
modeling pattern you wanted to express, you claimed it was 
possible and this was an example.

The example actually shows that D does not allow you to model as 
you desired, but that wasn't the claim you were making, you said 
the example did what you wanted but it doesn't.
