After following these forums for quite some time I think the 
roll-your-own-as-proof-of-concept is the best approach. If it is 
better and the compiler is capable of taking mainstream D as well 
as your own syntax then others will follow and there will be 
pressure to implement it in the main branch. There is just waaaay 
to much resistance to improve the D syntax to waste time arguing 
for it.

Time is better spent arguing for more performant/better semantics 
in the mainline and fix syntax in private builds until the wind 
changes direction… (and an alternative build that is better, yet 
remains compatible, is the best way to change direction the wind 
is blowing).

I'm rooting for you! :-)
