Yes, this is a common thing (it happened to me too, with Python and other languages). You need to be careful and think three times before designing things. Knowing several languages helps a bit against that.

I think so far reference semantics (but final methods) for containers is having the upper hand so far in this discussion. Surely other people will write other kind of D containers (like the C++ containers used by Electronic Arts), but I think the std lib needs to be not too much hard to use. (C++ is sometimes too much hard to use for me. In D I was looking for a bit simpler to use language).
