But I don't know that it's so terrible to have it as a keyword. Clearly there was a "free keyword love" period in D's past, but I think it takes a lot more than just "we could technically do this without a keyword" to remove it from the language. For one, it would break tons of existing code.
As I mentioned above, "body" can be removed as a keyword without removing it from the syntax. There's no chance of of confusion with any other type of symbol.
