- WalterBright 5y ago> many alternative representations If people feel regularly compelled to redo the syntax, there's something wrong with it. "Many" means balkanization, which is another problem. (D has some carefully designed points which discourage balkanization.) It goes back to too many parentheses. So I'm only half joking about it.
