D lexer do not understand unicode char … for variadic.

from some keayboard layout is faster to write … than ... ________________________________________

import std.stdio;
import std.algorithm;
import std.array;

void main( ){
    immutable int[] a = [4, 6, 1, 2,];
    immutable int[] b = cast(immutable) a.dup
                .sort!( (x,y) => x < y )
                .array;
    writeln( b );
}

The idea of using unicode glyphs in source code is interesting, and I think the now dead Fortress shows it's useful if done well. But introducing such change in D, and requiring a smart editor, just for a single symbol is a bit too much for too much little.

I agree with bearophile. While D is a fully unicode language, the rest of the programming ecosystem is not there yet, and it would just be grief to make such changes now.

Maybe in 10 years.
