Any idea why C++17 went with [] ?

Perhaps D should use <>? [not a
serious question]

It was hard for me not to use angled brackets for templates when I started
with D, but now it's second nature. I think you're right, familiarity with
other languages is important, but it isn't everything.

I'd like to stress again that the proposed syntax is standard.

I'm not sure I like the idea of ever reading `foo((a, b), c);`, but like
templates, I'd get used to it.

It would actually be unsatisfying to have two distinct ways to group 
together a heterogeneous list (Tuples vs. function argument lists.)

foo((a, b), c);

auto args = ((a, b), c);
foo(args);
