DMD 2.000 alpha release

[davidl]

In my world , nature is pessimistic and says "Do not trust the programmer"

Programmers even those top hackers could still make silly bugs , and  
several
other top hackers will spend dozens times effort on fixing it.

In my opinion , the language itself should be as much pessimistic as  
possible.
This could squeeze out the every possibilies of making mistakes by some  
error-
compromising compilers.
