BTW, the following line (printed in bold in 'timing_code.html'):

   auto Timer t = new Timer();

uses 'auto' instead of 'scope'. There is also another identical line at  
the bottom of the page.

I think I should also mention that DMD v1.007 uses 'auto' in the error  
message 'Error: variable XXX reference to auto class must be auto'  
(happens when a scope class object is declared without the 'scope'  
keyword). Is this minor glitch corrected in DMD v1.009?
