There is a high bar for new features, which is as it should be. 
The fact that people sometimes don't put the work in to write and 
evolve a solid proposal is not the maintainers fault. And even 
well written proposals should be turned down sometimes if they 
don't have a good power to weight ratio.

The last quarterly foundation meeting had 9 representatives from 
companies taking part:

D is focused on professional users, rather than every syntax 
proposal that comes up on the forum.

What's your evidence the maintainers (plural) want to remove it? 
Wasn't it just an idea of Walter's? I strongly doubt this will 
happen. D since roughly 2010 hasn't removed anything that wasn't 
bug-prone, hard to support or not working properly.
