There are currently two Phobos PR's that implement essentially

From the discussion on Github, it seems to me that we should
only
introduce one new function rather than two similar but
not-quite-the-same functions. Since the discussion seems stuck
on
Github, I thought I should bring it here to the larger
community to see
if we can reach a consensus (who am I kidding... but one can
hope :-P)
on:
(1) What name to use (bring on the bikeshed rainbow)
(2) Exactly what functionality should be included.
(3) Which PR to merge.

It's called "variable declaration" in imperative languages, and
I think D has that.
Yes, D has variable declarations, but it doesn't allow you to
declare them mid-expression for the limited scope of an
expression - and that's what `bindTo` aims to achieve.
