Yes, I understand this, but if I want to put d=5 in the hashmap, it gets 
confusing to the reader and the compiler...

My only point is that while this looks convenient, and proves to work most of 
the time just fine, it does provide an opportunity for the wrong thing to 
happen, often mysteriously from the users perspective...
