I'd like Walter and/or Andrei to give a comment to this (and to your patch).

I have asked here, in the main D newsgroup, and your patch was exposed in
GitHub for several days.

Default arguments are not so common...

The point 3 by Hara is probably the most important. If he says this enhancement
may cause more typing problems then we should listen to him. At minimum your
patch should contain more tests. (But adding tests to a patch is receiving a
cold interest risks being a further waste of time.)

Thank you for your patch and your comments.
