There's quite a bit of weirdness in Beef that has been copied 
over from C#. The preprocessor is one example. It is pretty much 
as capable as the one in C#. There it exists mostly to enable 
conditional compilation.

One other feature that seems to be inspired a bit by D is how the 
scope keyword forces objects to be allocated on stacks. It can 
also limit their lifetime to named blocks instead of the entire 
function.
