Main reason for D not supporting the name-to-pointer mapping? I don't
think so because as far as I know this has been the case since very
early on but UFCS came very much later.
More likely due to properties, i.e. calling functions without
parentheses.

I think it's just a design choice. C implicitly converts the
name of the function to a pointer to that function. D requires
the explicit & operator:
