I didn't know you could do that, neat.

It also means you can do it for implicit template, I suppose. You 
can't do it for declaring a function, but I suppose it works for 
declaring a lambda, and storing it in a enum:

enum moveRight(int DX) = (in int dx) pure nothrow => dx + DX;

I only see this being a problem if the lambda actually needs 
access to the context.
