I've tried as much as possible to keep improvements to DMD in the front 
end code, rather than tweaking the back end. This is to make folding the 
changes in to other D compiler implementations easier.

That said, I am here to help with any questions about how things work in 
order to help those connecting the front end to other back ends, and I 
am also willing to do what I can to fold changes into the front end that 
will make future updates easier.
