I mean, given that this works:

void main()
{
   int body = 5;
}

I don't know that we need to even deprecate it.

Taking a second look at the DIP, it seems that the deprecation is due to 
the objection of any contextual keywords, which apparently body now is.

So the deprecation should happen. It was supposed to happen when the DIP 
was implemented.

If you know how to do that, I think it would be accepted.

The deprecation period can be really long, though, as there is probably 
a lot of code out there that needs updating.

No, sorry. I don't know how to do that. (I'm mainly familiar with 
Phobos.)

Thanks for the reminder, I think we all forgot about it :)
