In all the years I have used D, whenever I have forgotten to 
initialize a floating point number, the fix was ALWAYS to 
initialize explicitly to 0, because that's what I expected and 
desired to happen.

This is a big stain on D, and it disrupts everyone's work 
unnecessarily. The problem is the distance from the error to the 
result.

I don't ever expect it to change.
