Technically, it is not important at all. It adds zero power and functionality. 
All it is is a simple syntactical rewrite within the compiler to the old syntax.

However, and this is a big however, aesthetically it is a large improvement. 
People using many diverse languages have made it clear that this is the 
preferred syntax for lambdas. They expect to see it, or else they mark D as "not 
having lambdas" and "not supporting functional programming".

Syntax matters.
