IMO it makes D more complex for insufficient gain.  It takes very little  
time to learn || && etc and once you do you can code in C, Java, C# ..

We really don't want D to become a TMTOWTDI language.  Ideally there  
should be 1 right way and no alternatives.  That way, anyone who knows D  
will have a greater chance of knowing what any given code sample does, and  
not have to look up alternate syntax etc.
