Wrong. Specifying only types was perfectly legal in C and remains so in
D. It would have been a major breaking change.
One variant discussed was:
auto fun(auto x, auto y) { … }
We concluded that's poor style anyway because most function should have
constraints on types. Truth be told, at the time of that decision
parameter names (viz. x and y) could not be used in template
constraints. Now they could, so in a way that reopens the question.
Either way, this is not enabling something we couldn't do, so it's not
high on the priority list.
