Please stop polluting D 2.0 with C/C++ programmer assumptions.

Which is why I avoid making changes that cause silent crashing 
differences in behavior. Changes that result in compile errors if used 
in a C++ manner are ok.

For example:

	float f = 1/2;

If I did as suggested and make this the same as (float f = 0.5;), I 
would silently break code that a C++ programmer may naturally write.
