digitalmars.D.learn - Finding equivalent of C++ feature in D documentation.

I needed to find equivalent of member initialization list in D.
After searching ~10 minutes I found D has very elegant solution 
(https://dlang.org/spec/class.html#field-init) after reading 
through whole constructor page. My question is not technical this 
time I have my solution. But I think when I google "Member 
inilization in D" I am expecting to be directed to correct 
documentation.

This unfortunately happens a lot to me. And this minutes sum into 
hours and inefficiency.

Is there any better way for me to search C/C++ equivalent 
features? As a humble suggestion would it make sense to make a 
table with feature names and corresponding name of the same 
feature in other languages ?

Try this: 
https://wiki.dlang.org/Programming_in_D_for_C%2B%2B_Programmers

... and potentially this: https://wiki.dlang.org/Coming_From

Those resources are community maintained.  When I was first 
learning D, if I encountered a problem and struggled to a 
solution, I would make an attempt to documented it on the D wiki 
to try and save others from having to go through the same 
difficulty.  I encourage you to do the same.

Thanks guys both pages are good.

 Mike I really want to add this case about M.I.L syntax in to 
wiki page. But since I am not a D pro; I am shy and also I am not 
sure if I have the permission to modify this page. Do you suggest 
me to try adding this spesific to the wiki page?
