I experimented with using the character 'ħ' in a variable name, and wasn't terribly surprised when the compiler didn't like it. What did surprise me is that I still got a compile error even when the character was in a comment. Is there any way to make dmd not get fussy about unicode?

Hmmm it's strange: I think d should support unicode on both comment and vars name.

This code works for me ;)

float distance(T)(T from, T to)
      {
         import std.math;

         auto toRadians = (float dec) => dec/180.0f*PI;

         auto R = 6371;
         auto φ1 = toRadians(from.lat);
         auto φ2 = toRadians(to.lat);
         auto Δφ = toRadians(to.lat-from.lat);
         auto Δλ = toRadians(to.lng-from.lng);

float a = sin(Δφ/2) * sin(Δφ/2) + cos(φ1) * cos(φ2) * sin(Δλ/2) * sin(Δλ/2);
         float c = 2 * atan2(sqrt(a), sqrt(1-a));

         return R * c;

      }

What compiler version do you use?

I tried to compile your code on dpaste (2.070.0) and got this:
