I don't understand how

is even marginally better than

This is bloat that doesn't need adding. D is complicated already, stop
adding more 'stuff' and fix what's already there. I wish more time was
taken up on libraries and tooling than completely unnecessary features
like this.
"Completely unnecessary" features like that are exactly what make D
worthwhile in the first place. Otherwise may as well stick to C++ or Java.
