I stated my expectations earlier I think there will be a 2-6x 
performance increase in the non-jited version and around 10-14x 
for the jit.
My preliminary results do support that claim.

As for new features I do not plan on doing language-changes as I 
do not have the ability to anticipate the outcome of doing so.

My work will probably have side-effects on the rest of dmd, for 
example the AST is hard to work with in some cases. I would to 
add like some support for frontend-optimisations as well.

I will also improve documentation in some areas and hope to lower 
the entry-barrier for dmd-development.
