A bit late to the party, but I would recommend the following

for argument-less tests. A casual reader would be less likely
to see this in code and think it's some sort of typo; it would
be easier to google; and it would make some semantic sense
(functions that don't return anything return void).
It's a creative suggestion, and not a bad one. But it's
verbose, and I'd like to be able to omit the identifier
altogether. Currently, only `for` loops allow this, as when
people write:
for( ; ; )
Theoretically, `foreach
foreach( ; a) ...
out( ; ...)
Currently `foreach` does not allow omitting
Sorry, clicked the `send` button too soon.
Anyway, currently `foreach` does not allow omitting the initial
identifier, but in theory it _could_ be enhanced to do so. If
`out` expressions also allow this, then we get the desired
symmetry between `for`,`foreach`, and `out` expressions, with
minimal verbosity. That's the solution I promote. It's better
than requiring something to be there when nothing really has to
be. I don't know why `foreach` isn't already this way.
