What say you?
It's an interesting proposal, and I like it in general.
In D the C++-improved template system and the Java-copied OOP are
partially a duplication, they sometimes offer two different ways to do
similar things. I think this proposal reduces this duplication a bit.
This whole discussion comes mostly from fixing an old Bugzilla bug. What
other important bugs are open that risk requiring significant changes in
D? I suggest to look for such breaking bug fixes asap, instead of
waiting 2+ more years to find some bug that requires more important D
changes to be fixed :-)

I'm thinking fo it for a while. This would be great to have a corpus of
D code from volunteer project that can be used to test how much breakage
does a disruptive change.
For this one, I bet not that much, but that is hard to assert without
real world data.
