BTW I did *not* actually use -betterC for my minimal.zip. I've 
been playing with it a bit recently to make an even more minimal 
thing, but I'm fairly happy with how the first try turned out: it 
runs on bare (x86) metal and the test binary is < 30 KB in size. 
That's really not too bad: most the language works and some of 
the parts that don't can be fixed for small cost too.

Up from the 5 KB I have going with the -betterC thing and my 
TypeInfo patches locally (or the 3 KB with no runtime at all, but 
that means no structs either which massively sucks) but 30 KB 
isn't really that large and IMO the other parts of the language 
are worth it. Classes and exceptions are cool.

What we should get is RTInfo for modules. Why? Then you can have 
a library module scan the modules for static ctor/dtors and issue 
a static assert failure. No compiler switch needed, we can do 
custom project rules. Works in regular D too, totally awesome.
