Well, I think it is very good to have main _inside_ a class I am currently
"playing with" during the development process (of the class). Sure I can have a
main() function in the same module and play with the class there, but somehow I
"feel" it belongs to the class block. Obviously this is a matter of taste, so
it does not really matter whether we will have this "feature" in D or not. I
just started this thread because I thought it is somehow possible to do it... :)

I don't get it.  If you like having main in a class so much just put it 
there and call it.  If you like Java, then apparently you like typing 
and this way you get to do even more of it! :-)

class MyClass
{
    public static void main(char[][] args) {
        writefln("Whee I'm main now!");
    }
}

void main(char[][] args) { MyClass.main(); }
