IMO these small syntax improvements are important to keep the 
language moving and alive. I didn't implement ThrowExpressions in 
libdparse, but I was happy to review it and we got it into 
libdparse promptly end of January.

D-Scanner has a tagged release and will evaluate code properly, 
DCD still needs a new tag but if you compiled from source you 
will already get a newer dsymbol version that supports it even on 
the same tag. dfmt's latest version also includes parsing 
support, but it only operates on tokens so nothing changes there 
really.

I think shortened methods and named arguments are also great 
small improvements like this.
