We are passed the initial stage of designing the language. D is 
used now in lots of real code. The focus now has to be on 
completing the original design, and maybe making small 
non-breaking improvements where practical. Discussions about 
fundamental changes to the language like this, while interesting, 
are distracting and counterproductive.
