Explicit is better than implicit.
(The Zen of Python)

Frankly speaking, my feeling is that D is becoming a horrible 
mess for the programmer...

And, BTW, I'm totally with Jonathan also on @implicit for copy 
ctor... I really really don't like it, another nail in the coffin 
of a beauty, symmetry, and intuitive syntax.

I'm starting to think that only a D3, with a lot of thing 
reorganised without the obsession of breaking changes can safe 
that beautiful language: Python was _almost_ killed in the 2-3 
transaction, but kudos to Guido and the core time, it resurrected 
more strong than ever.
