They're basically bug fixes. All that stuff should have worked. There 
are several other bugs which cannot be fixed without them.
For example, bug 1461 couldn't be fixed without allowing nested functions.
Bug 1950 couldn't be fixed without implementing almost everything 
required for member functions.

Some bugs are so crippling that when they're fixed, it's pretty much a 
new feature.

I believe you will find the new CTFE very stable. In implementing the 
improvements, many structural problems were fixed. It turns out to be a 
very effective way of diagnosing bugs.
