The := syntax looks just like the += *= ~= syntax, which has

BTW D does have instances of multiple ways of doing the same

Eg
private:
int x = 1;
private int x = 1;
private
{
int x = 1;

Yes, but these are *variations* of a common semantic.
You could also cite:
const i = 5;
const auto i = 5;
":=", on the other hand, is not a variation. It is something new
and out of the blue.
