Not one precisely, but I'm sure we don't need as many as we have. 
", `, q", q{, r", x". I've never used several of theses and I'm

I use them all the time, and cringe whenever I code in something 
else because i don't have them. Once you have /* comments */ in

through hoops. that is very annoying./+ comments +/ are one of 
the simple thing that makes coding in D much more pleasant.
