I believe we should show off D in all its virtue
at http://dlang.org/hash-map.html
by addition to
     int* p = ("hello" in aa);
     if (p !is null) {}
also include the even compacter
     if (auto p = "hello" in aa) {}
along with
     if (const p = "hello" in aa) {}
in the non-mutating case.
Destroy!
