And while I am at it, let me commit heresy by proclaiming that 
this feature is so important that I think it should be the 
default and that programmers should instead specify that the 
result is "discardable".

That would of course be a 
terrible-terrible-terrible-breaking-change, and would never fly 
in the current political climate.

But in general: D would become more interesting as a language if 
we could muster the guts to be different.
