Sure, but not if you do it like my second example: auto func(auto a, auto b) // like C++14 That doesn't break anything, right?
Anytime I write the body of a function that doesn't use one of its args, I keep the arg name empty. This implicitly documents that the arg is unused. Many people do this in C++ too, since msvc will flag you for not doing it anyways. So your answer your question: "who's hand-writing a bunch of functions with nameless params in real D code": Lot's of people, including in Phobos.
Fair enough. However, using 'auto' like above would allow cleaner syntax without getting in your way I think.
