A recent discussion over in digitalmars.D
http://forum.dlang.org/post/rtwbtxigfeupvykpbamh@forum.dlang.org

talks about accepting @return... Here is an example from the PR:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/compare/366422338ece...6b86b12f79e8

struct At
{
 @property auto info() @safe @nothrow @pure @return const { return this; }

 @pure @nothrow @return ref int info2(ref int x) { return x; }
}

Which I assume before the change would be:

struct At
{
 @property auto info() @safe nothrow pure return const { return this; }

 pure nothrow return ref int info2(ref int x) { return x; }
}

I don't know about anyone else, but this doesn't compile in 2.066.

this is a very recent thing, it wasn't coded when 2.066 was released.

I don't know if it's even fully coded up in git master, though clearly it's at least partially there, because @ was put on return as part of the PR that triggered that discussion. Regardless, it's _very_ new (IIRC, it's been less than a month since it was approved).

    @property auto info() @safe @nothrow @pure @return const { return this; }

And soon its gong to look like this:

export @property auto info() @safe @nothrow @pure @return const { return this; }

Thanks, I like it.
