I think that unnamed aggregates would be a great extension for some compiler
vendor to add to the language, so that there will be "prior experience" when
we get around to designing "D".  (No, I'm *not* trying to start another round
of "D" postings.)

I was struck by Chris' comment, however.  How would unnamed functions be
implemented?  How would they be used?  The { .. } syntax for aggregate declar-
ations seems natural enough to use for unnamed aggregates, but how would it
be done for functions?

I'm just curious.  I can't think of how I would use this sucker.
