A "match" statement that figures type patterns and introduce names and all that - that might be more interesting (though being far from a game changer).
I doubt one can really know if it's a game changer until it has been implemented and experimented with. I'm not really in a position to design one for D, but I have had some positive experience with erlang's 'case' expressions. The real question is if we can make it clean and powerful enough to outdo a library solution.
But that's not quite what has been proposed in this thread.
Yeah, I was trying to derail this thread in a more useful direction.
