It would be great if D would have the same "pay for what you use" way,
as C/C++ do.
While D is nearly a system language, its design doesn't follow that C++
rule fully. In some cases paying a little is OK for D, if it makes lot
of other code safer, shorter, nicer, etc.

I agree, I rather pay a little more like in Modula-2 and Ada, than have
what C++ has become.
It is always a mess to link in third party libraries if they have
decided to pay for a different set of things one is willing to pay for.
And to be honest, even when I used to do systems level programming back
in MS-DOS days and my early UNIX days, I never felt the need for such
approach.
I think it was a design decision to bring to C++, the C developers that
use it as a portable macro assembler.
