Non-nullable references are getting more and more popular. I hope one
day we will convince Walter to introduce this idiom to D, too.
Unfortunately, it is unlikely for D2 to get this feature in its
time-frame (because it will be frozen very soon).
Unless we all insist on introducing it before it's too late!
Adding non-nullable means a lot of small changes here and there, so I
don't believe it'll happen soon. Walter doesn't seem interested, and I
find that very unfortunate.
Perhaps someone could backport that feature from Delight and propose a
patch to Walter? Having something working and in testable state makes a
feature much easier to discuss.
