I understand how some people want to derive meaning from obj.foo()
versus obj.foo. I think they shouldn't in D. I mean D has had for
years the behavior that you could drop the trailing empty parentheses.
<sarcasm>
And of course, D has such a huge number of users already that anyone
who comes from another language can just go to hell as far as we're
concerned...

But then they'd expect a number of improvements wouldn't they. To me,
the space-wasting and uncomfortable-to-type parens have always been
unpleasant noise. I like some of the values of the old village I grew up
in, but please pave the darn road, I could do without the mud.
