I believe two matters remain:

1) Getting stack traces on unhandled signals (or at least SIGSEGV).

There is ongoing discussion in this pull request:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/pull/187

2) Getting line numbers on POSIX.

I don't think this goal is easily directly reachable. The corresponding library
(binutils) that parses DWARF debug information and extracts line numbers in
licensed under the GNU GPL, meaning that loading it dynamically and passing
around data structures is out of the question (see
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#NFUseGPLPlugins). However, the D
distribution can include a small GPL-licensed program that can take an
exception stack trace as stdin, and convert it to include line number
information, similar to the addr2line utility.
