The "overloaded" keyword problem with D is just getting worse and worse. 

I know you are a compiler writer and doing such things as you are makes it
easier for the compiler, but the continually overloading of keywords with
different (but similar) meanings in D is bordering on the illegible. What
you are doing, inadvertently, is making D harder for people to learn,
understand, and read.
