I cannot accept

10. .iota; // The space here is unacceptable.

Please have the programmer change 10. to 10.0 so that we have

10.0.iota;  // Cleaner, obvious, and doesn't look like a typo.

Thank you.

IMHO, the coolest thing was when Rob Pike told about the tool 
they made for automatically upgrading user source code to their 
next language version.


That should be quite easy to implement now in D, and once done, 
would give much needed room for breaking changes we feel should 
be done. Pike seemed to be extremely satisfied they did it.
