How is it explicit in D? Something to do with shared/const? But 
the default-owned/borrow vs explicit unique-borrow (but `&mut`) 
in Rust /are/ explicit, while in D anything passed to a function 
is by default either a completely independent copy or a shallow 
copy of a reference that needs mutex'ing or a const-qualified 
view to be safe.

Asking, not arguing, 'cause I'm new to D and a bit confused. I 
hope replying to old topics is okay...
