D already has a long list of keywords, reserved words can't be used as identifiers, which can be annoying. "body" in particular is a common noun that programmers would gladly use as a variable name in physics simulation, astronomy, mechanics, games, health, etc. I think "body" can be removed from D with no harm, and with the benefit of allowing the name as identifier.
Body is not strictly necessary to parse it. But it makes for a nice "anchor" when the in and out clauses get long.
In any case, we are currently working on getting temp destruction to work correctly, and after that we'll work on fixing issues with const. I think these are the most important things we should be working on at the moment.
