Thanks for your reply as well, rempas... I guess I covered most 
things in my earlier reply, but on the `for` loop:
Coming from Basic and then Pascal, when I first saw that atrocity 
I was like... seriously? I think most people don't see it anymore 
because they have become so used to it, but the sequence of abort 
condition and increment steps is completely arbitrary, and commas 
and semicolons are used like literally *nowhere else* in the 
language (C and C++ that is, not sure yet about D). It's a marvel 
of inconsistency.
I don't mind it as much today, since I must have written 
thousands of `for` loops by now and I do it totally 
automatically. I just don't know how it could become such a 
success story in so many languages and it *just*. *won't*. *die*.

Sounds intriguing. Anything I can look at yet? Or still all top 
secret? :)
