You can do that in D too, as long as b also returns void.

BTW it'd actually be a fairly simple change to the dip to allow 
these things. Instead of

`x => y` translated to `x { return y; }`

it could be translated to `x { return cast(typeof(return))( y ); 
}`


But casts are kinda harmful so i don't think that's a good idea 
in general. Of course it could special case it and say it does:

`x { static if(is(typeof(return) == void)) return cast(void) (y); 
else return y; }`


but idk.
