Walter, thank you for agreeing with those changes!
As the toolset of a language is highly important to its productivity, so 
does that mean that the more help the community gets in reusing and 
improving each others tools, the better D will be (especially since we 
don't have the backing of a large corporation, and most of D's 
contributers are volunteers/hobbyists). And even more important if that 
tool is the compiler (which is already being used in several projects).
