Please recall the famous `fori=' vs. `for i=' mistake:
one unintentional changed or added character might change the meening
of the code but compile undetected:
| auto x = +1L;
| auto y = -1L;
| auto z = .1L;
Whereas
| auto z = .1R;
would need two changes to the intention.
Because of `auto' and `real', which both still aren't in C, D might
need to be more picky.
