I use that dumb feature most every day. It's the most productivity enhancing 
feature I've added in a long time.

For example, I formerly wrote:

     import core.stdio;
     int main() {
        printf("%d\n", expression);
        return 0;
     }

     dmd test
     ./test

every time I wanted to see what `expression` evaluated to. Now I just do:

    int test() { return expression; }

    dmd -c test -vasm

Shazzam! Mucho less typitty-tippity-tip-typing!
