Walter has expressed a desire in the past to make it so that D requires that the evaluation order of arguments be left-to-right in order to avoid bugs, and while these aren't exactly function arguments, they're basically function arguments to a built-in function called +, so I could definitely see Walter wanting to require that the evaluation order be left-to-right. However, while Walter has expressed an interest in making it a requirement, AFAIK, it has never officially become one and the spec says nothing on the matter. - Jonathan M Davis
