I'm learning the D language right now, and I can not say that 
I've missed any of these things. They may offer some 'syntactic 
sugar', but the D is very expressive anyway. Ex: for safe 
invocation I would use an assert/enforce anyway if there is a 
chance the object is null. The 'import package' whould be usefull 
though...
