It's been discussed before, and maybe we'll get it or something
like it at some point, but it really wouldn't help much with
idiomatic D. The average D program does a _lot_ less with
classes than a language like C# does. Most stuff is done with
structs on the stack - especially with range-based programming.
That's not to say that certain types of programs couldn't
benefit from such syntax, but it's going to be a lot less
common than it is with C#. But it's also pretty trivial to
write a helper function that does the same thing if you really
want a short-hand way to do it.
That's not the only use case. Recently I'm using Algebraic pretty
often and I really wish that this would work:
alg.peek!AThing?.method();
