Wow! This is HUGE news for D, and may I say, I think some *major* 
respect (and "props, j00!") are *well-deserved* here not only from 
Walter's work, but also by Symantec themselves.

AFAIK, Symantec were under no particular obligation here, but 
none-the-less chose the consumer/developer-friendly route, and I for one 
couldn't be more appreciative. I'm one who can be very critical of, 
well, everything, but the fine folks at Symantec have earned an enormous 
amount of respect from me, and dare I say, the whole D language 
community as well, in this one much-appreciated move. Major kudos, and 
eternal thanks to all involved :)
