Yeah, me too. I have to say that at least D is expressive enough 
to allow the safeAccess template, as mentioned before, although 
there are several drawbacks: it's in many cases sub-optimal, it's 
not autocompletion-friendly at all, it's less distinguishable 
from an operator.

But well, really it's nice that it's possible as a template. No 
need to harass the language leaders for that.
