Although I prefer explicit over implicit in most cases, I've never
graduated from if(p) and still using it happily. :)

All bool conversions in D are value based, not identity based. Not only
this is error prone, this is inconsistent.
What does "value based" and "identity based" mean?
bool conversions vary widely and allow a lot of flexibility (at least
for structs):
if(arr) -> same as if(arr.ptr)
if(someInt) -> same as if(someInt != 0)
if(someObject) -> if(someObject !is null && someObject.invariant)
if(someStruct) -> if(someStruct.opCast!(bool))
