The point here isn't that we want "a" and "b" to be replaced with "_"
the point is that we want to get rid of the string and have a shorter

I understand. Using strings is witnessing the fact that we couldn't find
a shorter syntax that didn't have problems. That being said, it's very
possible there are some great ones, we just couldn't find them.

"we just couldn't find them"
Is that the royal "we" as in singular?
If plural, may one politely inquire as to whom "we" are?
Walter, Bartosz Milewski, Eric Niebler, David Held and myself have
discussed the issue a number of times. It has also been often discussed
on this newsgroup.
I find few things odd.
First, Eric and David are your C++ buddies. Why are you having this
secret society instead of openly discussing D features in the D mailing
lists?

It WAS discussed on the newsgroup, and that => syntax was discussed as well.
(I didn't get involved in it, but it was quite public).
