D : Not for me anymore

[BLS]

Well John you make me smile, I really enjoy your kind of humor.
It's 3 pm in the morning here in france, but I found your answere quit 
refreshing. So here's the answere.
Okay :
What picks on my nerves is the waste of human resources and 
intelligence, just because Walter is not willing to coordinate and 
delegate std.lib work to the community.

Maybe it's because D hasn't still reached 1.0. (beside, wonder why)
*To offer something concrete, we allready have :*

deprecated
{
	void oldFoo();
}

//so what about ...

future
{
	yield ....	
}

/* Has to pass the semantic analyses but will produce no code.
    (means only D Front End Development required)
    Enables feature freeze without stand still and  std.lib development.
*/
