I've always disagreed with this stance.  _parts_ of druntime are specific to the compiler/runtime interface, but MOST of
it isn't and shouldn't be compiler specific.  The closer the various compilers' runtime's are to the same the better the
ecosystem will be, imho.

So, I encourage pushing changes upstream.
