Walter, this is a great update.  Especially the removal of the implicit 
cast for array pointers.

But I'd like to echo the other comments in this thread regarding 
structs.  IMO, we're not there yet.  I think folks are looking for a 
solution that does this:

- A ctor like syntax for creating a new struct
- No more forced copy of the entire struct on creation
- Something that is disambiguated from static opCall
- Ctors that are as clear to read as this() in classes and modules.

Again, thanks for the solid push to 1.0 this month.  I'm sure we haven't 
seen anything yet.
