I came to D in 2003. I recall this coming up in the forums now
and again by people discovering it for the first time and
wondering why it only worked with arrays. I remember thinking it
was a pretty big deal when it was expanded to work in the general
case. I'm sure I wrote about it on my old blog, but now I can't
find my database backup to verify.
