General Coding Guidelines

- Prefer anonymous temporaries to named values within reason.
Is this really wished? It's often helpful to readability (provided the
name is clear).
It also helps making shorter lines without sacrificing any other good
point (eg by giving a temp name to a complicated function argument
expression).
"Within reason" is a key point. I'm just seeing too much code like:
auto widgets = widgets.count();
return widgets > 1;
To be complete: Use aliases when they provide conceptual information, or
otherwise clarify the code:
alias float[3] Position;
alias Node* Link;
alias double Time;
alias ElementType!T Element;
Most if not all of these are common beginner mistakes, particularly if
defined at module level. Please avoid.
