You are not supposed to come to this forum with well-balanced 
opinions and reasonable arguments. It's not colourful enough to 
be heard!

Instead make a dent in the universe. Prepare your most impactful, 
most offensive statements to push your personal agenda of what 
your own system programming language would be like, if you had 
the stamina. Use doubtful analogies and references to languages 
with wildly different goals than D. Prepare to abuse the 
volunteers, and say how much you would dare to use D, if only it 
would do "just this one obvious change". Having this feature 
would make the BlobTech industry switch to D overnight!

And you haven't asked for any new feature, especially no new 
_syntax_ were demanded! I don't know, find anything:

"It would be nice to have a shortcut syntax for when you wan't to 
add zero. Writing 0 + x is cumbersome, when +x would do it. It 
has the nice benefit or unifying unary and binary operators, and 
thus leads to a simplified implementation."

Do you realize the dangers of looking satisfied?
