Java 8 has a 'default' keyword that allows interfaces to

similar to above.
Is there a way to achieve an equivalent functionality in D?

What an interesting technique. I've never seen this before. Maybe
a DIP is in order? I think it would be low priority relative to
the current work being done, but this technique seems like a good
thing to support in the language.
