Imagine you don't have to write semicolons in D. If you have 1000 lines of code
you save 1000 keystrokes

If you have about 50 delegates in your code you save 200 characters.
The way you measure to assess whether this is material is in proportion
to the rest of the code. Semicolons are quite frequent, but 200
characters in 1000 lines may be as infrequent as 0.2%.
I don't think this is more important than the other problems you mention, but
adding bits of characters
here and there ends up saving a lot.
I agree in principle, but not in this case.
