Execellent point, Walter. The concept of scope guards in D is very  
exciting and a real winner in my opinion. I'm looking forward to the  
syntax improving and stabilizing so I can use it in real applications.

   : I hope that these buggy examples show just how hard it is to get
   : C-style booleans to be correct, and how easy it is to get the

   : boolean correct. This leads me to believe that the C-style boolean is  
just
   : conceptually wrong, as it does not match up with how we think despite
