With choose, for a new keyword, something very ugly?

I don't want to write ugly code, let that to C++ and Rust

tls by default is a huge mistake, i support adam's suggestion

Please, make good and simple syntax, anything that starts with __ 
is ugly

The only reason i personally use ``const`` is to be able to pass 
things either by reference or to avoid GC allocation

     void pass(const scope int[] a)
     pass([1,2,3])

I see code in phobos that abuse everything, then abuse workaround


     return () @trusted { return getAddressInfoImpl(node, service, 
&hints); }();

OOP, bloatware, syntax-uglifier people designing stuff should be 
put to jail

If D3 or D1.5 every happen, hopefully that kind of stuff 
disappears, 0 compatibility with that code
