Ok.

Ok.

Ok.

That has the same problem of trying to do this for int:

void foo(int i) {
}

void main() {
    foo(int 42);     // <-- ERROR
}

But you can do this:

    foo(int(42));    // (Relatively new syntax in D.)

It works with the parentheses as it does for int:

alias MF = void function( ref int p1, float p2, ubyte p3 );

void otherFunc( MF mf ) {
}

void main() {
    otherFunc(MF((ref int, float, ubyte){ }));    // <-- Parens
}

Yes, some lambdas do not return anything.
