AFAIK the type inferencing for D is similar to that for C# 3.0. IOW you can 
omit the type on a declaration if you can infer the type from the 
initializer. Sounds trivial but it does save typing if the datatype is quite 
complex. Where it will really save time is in combination with object 
initializer syntax, to provide anonymous types. I don't know enough about 
it, but I'm guessing that such anonymous types would then fit in well with 
the lambda expressions also showing up in C# now.
