the code that
relies on the old behavior will most likely need to be
redone, not just add a
switch.
Even if such "naive" D programmers exist, maybe it's better to
ignore this third
point, because they will not be able to program in D for other
reasons.

I'm surprised at you, bearophile!
I have to second Walter on that one. This does and probably will
happen, even with programmer that aren't brain damaged.
