Note that this is Philippe Sigaud's code. So you can him, and me to the list of
people affected by this.

I'm doing string processing in D on a day-to-day basis, and whenever I have a
list of strings I eventually end up shooting myself in the foot because of a
missing comma. It's very easy (at least for clumsy me) to make the mistake.
E.g. writing some headers to ignore:

string[] ignoredHeaders = [
    "foo.bar"  // todo: have to fix this later
    "foo.do",  // todo: later
];

When I have comments next to the strings it makes it easy to miss the missing
comma, especially if the strings are of a different length.
