Hey, you can use this pattern to generate all sort of compilable 
D-art (Sorry, I am kind of busy with work, or I would have come 
up with something a bit nicer, but it does compile!

void main()
{
          (()        =>()     =>()=>      ()=>()=>()
          =>       ()=> ()=>()=>  ()=>    ()        =>
          ()      =>                ()    =>        ()=>
          ()      =>                ()    =>         ()=>
          ()        =>             ()     =>         ()
          {}          )            ()     ()         ()
          ()           ()        ()       ()         ()
          ()             ()     ()        ()        ()
          ()               () ()          ()( )( );
}
