Good, this is what I had in mind.

Cool.

TLS, dynamic cast, profiling, static this/static ~this, 
assert, -cov, -profile, class == and synchronized all rely on druntime code.

Also, D classes will fail to link without Object.

Should `array.length = x` be an error or just unsafely set the length?

Should it be ABI-compatible with normal D?

If you don't have strong feelings about any of these they should still 
probably be listed.
