Hi Ali

Always good to hear from an author.  I picked up a copy of your 
book the other day... nice work!

I appreciate the tips on compile-time execution (hadn't thought 
of that), but do you know how I find out about the implementation 
status of a feature in D?  I'm aware of the DIP system, but I 
though DIPs were just for language changes.


Thanks,
