Examples, hard evidence, *pragmatism* are the key to getting things 
changed. And it's the best standard IMO.

Walter is basing his resistance to syntax changes (i.e.: along the lines 
of from / as) because he hasn't yet seen much _D_ code that would 
greatly benefit from it. I submit that there is a good body of evidence 
written in Java, C# and Python - the large and diverse libraries - 
because we all hope D libs. will soon emulate those in usefulness.
