I remember that when I have discussed about this topic the first time another person has said of sharing this problem of mine with this syntax.

C# foreach syntax uses the "in", and Python too uses it. Both languages are quite more used than D, are modern, and they care about their usability and readability.

If I don't talk about this topic I can't know if it's a common problem, or a personal one.

So even if I am wrong (and I am wrong all the time), and the current foreach syntax of D isn't bug-prone, I think the topic deserves a little discussion, so people can show who's right.
