I thought D was supposed to be a pragmatic language? All this means
is that we need a compromise between what would be ideal (being able

to handle, let's not do anything at all, not even the cases which we
could handle".
The idea is to find a way to solve this in the general case, not the specific
case of non-null pointers. Then we've got dynamite in our hands, rather than
warmed over toast.
