The first DIP has just landed into the new queue. It is a 
proposal from language authors and thus it bypasses usual 
nitpicking process and proceeds straight to requesting community 
(your!) feedback.

Essentially, it is an attempt to solve reference lifetime problem 
by extending implementation of `scope` keyword.

Proposal text: 
https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/DIP1000.md

Few notes:

- Please submit pull requests to adjust the markdown document if 
you want to propose any improvements (mentioning @WalterBright 
and @andralex for confirmation).
- The proposal refers to a number of other documents and it is 
recommended to become familiar at least briefly with all of them.
- At this point the question I'd personally suggest to be 
evaluated is "does this proposal enable enough useful designs?". 
A good check would be to try taking some of your projects and see 
if having DIP1000 approved and implemented could improve them.
