1. A solid debugging environment
2. A robust and stable standard library

D is at the point now where the addition of new language features are 
more a matter of convenience than anything.  That said, I think struct 
ctors, dtors, and copy semantics would be quite useful, and some form of 
const semantics may help in selling D for use in a large project, 
depending on the background and needs of the team.
