It's only ideas about next version, but new future maybe next:

Regarding #1 (Primary Constructors), I think the feature has
limited usefulness which doesn't deserve a presence in the
language and it would serve to confuse newbies who weren't aware
of that feature. I prefer to consolidate existing features and
make them more flexible to serve other purposes. For example, an
old idea of mine is a syntax like this (assuming D had
Python-style tuples):
this.(x, y) = (x, y);
The syntax would generate a tuple from members of this.
Similarly, one could also generate arrays or dictionaries by
writing this.[x, y].
Regarding #9, I see it's uses, but I wonder if it would be a good
idea to implement it. My initial thoughts are that it would make
grep'ing for declarations more difficult and I think it would
actually make code more difficult to read. Also, due to order of
evaluation, you couldn't use the variable until after the
statement in which it's declared, e.g.:
x + foo(out int x)
