 D lexer do not understand unicode char … for variadic.
 
 from some keayboard layout is faster to write … than ...
 
 
 import std.stdio;
 import std.algorithm;
 import std.array;
 
 void main( ){
 immutable int[] a = [4, 6, 1, 2,];
 immutable int[] b = cast(immutable) a.dup
 .sort!( (x,y) = x  y )
 .array;
 writeln( b );
 }

oops bad paste sorry


import std.stdio;

void foo( int[] params … ){
foreach( param; params )
writeln( praram );
}

void main(){
foo( 1, 2, 3, 4 );
}

The idea of using unicode glyphs in source code is interesting, and I think the
now dead Fortress shows it's useful if done well. But introducing such change
in D, and requiring a smart editor, just for a single symbol is a bit too much
for too much little.

I agree with bearophile. While D is a fully unicode language, the rest of the
programming ecosystem is not there yet, and it would just be grief to make such
changes now.

Maybe in 10 years.
