D has a lot of ad-hock features which make the language

better general purpose mechanisms.
My list:
* I'd start with getting rid of foreach completely. (not just
foreach_reverse). This is nothing more than a fancy function with
a delegate parameter.
I agree.
* This is a big one: get rid of *all* current compile time
special syntax. It should be replaced by a standard compilation
API and the compiler should be able to use plugins/addons. This
would reduce the size of the language to half of its current
size, maybe even more.
I agree with this one as well. At least if the compiler would be
implemented like this.
