Never thought D would actually do this.  I'm on the fence as to 
whether this is a good idea.  However, with all the D code I've 
written that would break from this I'd prefer not to do this; 
that is, unless the people who want this feature are willing to 
go through hundreds of thousands of lines of D code that I've 
written and fix it :)  Looks like I've got I've got 79 repos on 
github with D in them (although some are just forks and some are 
private).
