What is the problem with just inferring the `return`, allowing you to replace
(a,b) { return a + b; }
with
(a, b) { a + b; }
This seems competitive with the other syntaxes for brevity, but ISTR there was
some objection to doing things that
way.
Also would it make sense to have a template library along the lines of
boost::proto/boost::lambda to allow even
shorter, expression-based lambdas like
_1 + _2
I'm not exactly a D template metaprogramming pro, but I think this would work
for a lot of common cases.
