This DIP allows function templates, for example
```D
auto sqr(T)(T x) if(isIntegral!T) => x*x;
```
. But to arrive at that conclusion, one has to check the language 
grammar spec, seeing what kind of declarations use 
`FunctionBody`. I think an explicit mention is better. Just a 
slight mention is enough IMO, no need for exploration of what 
that enables.

The examples in "brevity" curiously have five spaces added before 
the member field of the structs. It's a little unconventional. Is 
this the intention?

"but there will be fewer keystrokes by virtue of there being no 
braces": in fact it's the omission of `return` that is the 
primary character saver. Omission of braces saves theoretically 
no characters ("{}" vs "=>"). In practice it usually saves one 
character because there is one operator less, so one less of the 
spaces most add between the operators.
