Ultimately it is just syntax, it does nothing over what D already does. It doesn't create anything new. In some cases it simplifies. If it does, then great, if it doesn't then don't use it. While I would prefer a totally different syntax, I also like to keep things organized. Having multiple classes floating around for certain things is just not needed so there should be an option.
So this is just to avoid typing out `class Pug : Dog {...} class Dog : Animal {...} class Animal {...}`? If so, I don't think it's worth the hassle. At least in the version so far, it doesn't seem to really cut down on the typing.
