Yeah, I've been bitten by that in languages like C#. I wish D 
didn't follow in C#'s footsteps and chosen a different syntax: 
`()? :`

That way if there aren't any parentheses the compiler could throw 
out an error until you specify what the operating is working 
with. It would make for a little overhead but these complex 
ternary expressions can be confusing.
