But the abomination, is what you already have ;-)

Cause *everything* is a friend. It can't get much worse than that.

But wait, it does get worse ...  you (the programmer) got no say 
it.

You cannot unfriend in D (except through a series of silly 
workarounds, that even then, just give you 'the appearance' that 
you've unfriended - they still your friends, should they ever 
show up on the scene.

You got not say it. That's the real 'abomination'.
