The -- token may look too functional to many of us. I am pretty sure that 
a great deal of D users would choose a buggy, badly optimizing compiler 
and an incomplete spec over a perfectly working D 3.0 compiler and spec 
if the latter one used -- for one line comments. It's a serious step 
towards unknown if you try to stay compatible with C.
