The statement that D is a "complete joke" and "YES 'offical' D 
really IS that bad" due to D's module level encapsulation is 
quite extreme to the point where one can reasonably wonder if it 
is indeed trolling, particular if combined with mild mockery 
("he'll consider it...but 'private to the class'...never!"), and 
in light of previous history of communications (even Username 
choices).
