Yes, congratulations are in order. Although those of us who were 
questioning the need for any keyword at all in `body`s place may 
be a little disappointed that it has merely been replaced with 
`do`, I think no one can doubt the main thrust of the DIP, which 
is that `body` is an incredibly useful identifier, and that 
having it newly available makes D a better language.

Also, I've been following the forums for several years now, and 
this is the first DIP that I know of that was not written by the 
language authors, and yet was still accepted into the language. 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that seems like a real landmark!

Also Mike Parker seems to be doing a very good job in his 
appointed position as DIP manager.
