One of the rules of the Python Zen:
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to
do it.
The word "obvious" is important, because usually there are
multiple ways to do something, but only one of them should be
obvious in Python :-)
I am aware of Python Zen and generally it is not applicable to D.
Multiple ways of doing the same thing can be justified both for
backwards compatibility and pragmatical reason. But in this case
I see no improvement that could justify it.
I'd welcome the change to attribute syntax but only one that
actually fixes the problems and not just rearranges things.
