I've brought this up on here awhile ago, and many people seemed to be against it. Which I don't agree with, since the ambiguities it creates are easily addressed (from a design perspective at least) and only exist so that C-style code is usable within D. It could work like:

   auto func(a, b)     // auto func(A, B)(A a, B b)
   auto func(int a, b) // auto func(B)(int a, B b)
   auto func(int ?)    // C-style: auto func(int)

Or...

   auto func(auto a, auto b) // like C++14

I mean honestly, who's hand-writing a bunch of functions with nameless params in real D code? Sure it's used for linking to C, which is semi-common, but I think having the much cleaner syntax available to "actual" D code makes more sense that not having it solely for linking-to-C-in-familiar-C-style reasons.
