I suppose it's like identifier naming conventions. There are ways to do
it that I feel are wrong, and there are ways that are right. The D
compiler doesn't care, it'll compile either. Coding style standards are
something altogether different from language standards.
Remember the C thing:
#define BEGIN {
#define END }
...
BEGIN
statements...
END
? That was pretty popular in the early days of C, when a lot of C
programmers came from Pascal and tried to make C look like Pascal.
Experience eventually showed that this was just not a good style, and is
strongly frowned upon today. Even so, every C compiler will accept
such code if you want to write it.
