noticing this before (although I wouldn't trust 9 year old

     D: (new Class()).foo();

     Java: new Class().foo();

Is there any particular (purposeful) reason why D cannot directly

That isn't coincidence ;) BTW, it is supposed to work by spec for 
ages.

I have been adding parentheses in DWT for ages :(. At least it's good
