Thank you for the work. 2.057beta has allowed me to remove several work-arounds in my D2 code.

Some thinks I'd like to see some attention on, in 2.058:

1) Fixing import semantics (http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=313  https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/190 ), this causes several troubles;

2) Face the problems with slice assignment syntax (the bug report is a mess, but the problem is real, "Syntax & semantics for array assigns": http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3971,  "Ambiguously designed array syntax": http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4703 ). The sooner this is fixed, the better, because it implies a syntax breaking change;

And an enhancement request too:

3) Discussing/implementing tuple unpacking syntax: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/341 (with a change I have suggested in comment 40: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6365#c40 ).

Bye,
bearophile
