What is the D leadership's vision for how the language will evolve with respect to this metric (ease of parseability by a human already well versed in the latest version of the language)?
Alias parameters have been around for a while. Generally it's not a feasible strategy to assign (or assume as reader) a single context-independent meaning to a keyword.
We are always keeping a close watch on language complexity as we improve it. One thing we're looking increasingly into is shifting to the compiler the responsibility of ascribing qualifiers and attributes, thus reducing the need for writing them by humans. Walter has a few quite interesting recent ideas in the area, which may bear fruit soon.
