It would be very unclean write strings this way, but it is not so important. The point is that I don't like features which cannot be disabled. For example variables in D are initialized, which is good, but you can write int i = void; and disable it. The final decision is on the programmer. You are not forced to do it only one "good" way. This is philosophy which I like. Of course, I understand that it is not possible make everything optional, it has negatives, like everything has, but if there are serious doubts about some feature and it is not big deal to make it optional, it SHOULD be optional. At least I think so.
