There are other threads. This is a recurring topic...
I am aware...
What you consider not pointless is your business, again, but
if you don't try to get it in the core language, you have no
foundation to complain that's it's not in there.
There are no example I know of where something has gone into
the D language that is going against the aesthetics Walter

There are also few examples of new features going in at the
language level based on external DIPs. Do you have any good
examples? (Not standard lib, but language features).
I myself know of no examples where people have actually done the
work up to and including the point where there were no technical
issues left and were then rejected.
