I found it surprising or unintuitive that the !() is required, 
and I do want to know what is the reasoning behind it, but it's 
not that big of a deal because the power that "alias" gives you 
is amazing, and makes a problem like this go away once you start 
using it correctly. Also don't loose sight of the fact that D has 
a whole lot more that is good than is bad. I find the better a 
language is I actually get more picky about things that I don't 
like. A garbage language is, well garbage, so I tend to care much 
less if it sucks. So to see me complain, is actually a good 
thing, it means I like it and want to see if get better.
