It looks like the D version doesn't have a `this` parameter or similar, so this version is absolutely Rust or Python or something inspired. On the other hand that means for D it was named correctly.

I have recently been full time writing C++ and yes it is a sinking island. Don't worry, I assume just in time for C++ to migrate to Rust, Rust will also start sinking (and not because of the influx of C++).
