We're not going to reject a feature proposal simply because it involves more typing (unless it's excessive). What matters are what overall advantages and disadvantages it provides. Saving keystrokes is nice, but it's generally not enough of a reason to accept or reject a feature proposal. D does generally let you do more in less code than C++, but saving keystrokes is just a nice bonus on top of everything else that it provides, not the reason for its existance. - Jonathan M Davis
