We aren't talking about a feature here, but a standard syntax to denote class
attributes. And D being a system language has nothing to do with being free to
take such kind of choices. A system language has to give freedom in how you use
memory or how you use the CPU at runtime, it has nothing to do to the syntax
you use to write identifiers. Such freedom isn't required.
