There are two problems I see:

1st - D has broken the concept of class encapsulation, simply for 
convenience at the module level. Not good in my opinion.

2nd - C++/C#/Java programmers will come to D, use the same 
syntax, but get very different semantics. Not good in my opinion. 
(i.e. I only realised private was not private, by accident).

D has made many good design decisions. I do not see this as one 
of them.
