The announcement post from Ikey included as its only explicit mention of
something bad about D itself that DIP1000 was incomplete.
My mention of reference counting as a way to allow for a complete story
for DIP1000 matched this goal that also matched what other people wanted
here.
Not everyone has the same priorities, especially when it comes to
comparing a minor feature that is almost in the language already, to a
major feature that will take years to complete.
Lets be clear on something, I want sum types. I need sum types for value
type exceptions which are waiting on only sum types. I do not believe
that Walter's DIP is complete enough to be a "good" design to further
this goal.
Disparaging me because I placed a higher priority on something critical
to my 110k+ LOC code base performance wise, does not aid in your goal of
the addition of a major feature which pretty much everyone wants at some
level.
