I have criticized the state of D's horrible documentation for as 
long as I've been here. The documentation is lacking, it's never 
really explicit and it uses pure D jargon that is not easily 
understandable from an outside perspective. At this point, I 
learn more by just asking on discord than "reading the fucking 
manual".
