I am suggesting that if I copied and pasted some random D feature 
in another language, it may not fit in that language, because the 
context is different. D has already some features that don't play 
along well together (immutability and OOP, for instance).

I am suggesting that 'because some other language has it' is not 
a valid argument, whether or not that language is successful.

I am suggesting language design is hard.

I am suggesting you write a DIP, so you can come with an 
evaluation of this cost, since you are the one asking for it.
