But I think such a change should probably be bundled with an agreement on what to actually do with the freed up character. If the syntax is removed and D never does anything with it, then that's a waste. \n is not useless, it's just an underperforming use of \. What to do with it should be decided upon before giving it the axe. (lambdas were suggested somewhere). --
