Walter has stated two or three times that this will probably change (and I 
agree with this decision), so order of evaluation will be enforced in D (as it 
is in Java/C#). This may reduce performance a bit in some situations, but make 
the semantics of D code more defined (this means it will be safer). Performance 
is important, but even more important is to have a language that always does 
what you ask it to do.
