FYI, Andrei and Walter are reversing this change barring any new evidence it's helpful to people. Please speak up if you disagree.
There's no more evidence. It's an improvement, for people coming from Python. The current semantics is not meaningful. One of the points of D over C++ was to fix irrationally designed parts, like this small problem. Many small design mistakes like this one create C++ we know and hate. We should fix such small problems quickly and look forward, instead of debating forever and reverting every small step forward like this. My presence around here is becoming useless.
