I should add one more thing.

Both Andrei's book (The D Programming Language), and Ali's book 
(Programming in D), provide the usual 'hello world' thing, at the 
beginning. In both cases, the 'module' statement is not part of 
that example. That is consistent with other 'hello world' I've 
seen in D. All the other code in both book also consistently 
leaves out the 'module' statement.

My point being, given that "D is serious about modularity" (as 
Andrei put it in his book), then I think all 'hello world' 
examples should include the 'module' specifier as well, and 
explain why it's there too. I think that would really aid those 
who are new to the language..
