Hmm yes, that cannot be argued. But you can go with the undefined  
behaviour resulting in casting away const in D. Isn't that the same  
category? And do you sometimes think "Hey you guys can just use C++ or  
Java if you think D is wrong!" ? I hope not. I enjoy looking into an  
evolving language and discuss it and I've written a DOS animated GIF  
viewer and an MD5 hasher in assembly. So I like being close to the silicon  
 from time to time when I'm not trying to hail the OOP gods.
