I respect that. In fact, I'll agree with the common argument that it's why you're doing so well by D.
I also find myself in a similar boat to Steve though. 2.000 breaks my program in over 300 different places simply because of char literals needing a cast to not be const. I spent 3 hours working on converting it to use const in the right places like the idea suggests - to 2.000 from 1.020 before finally giving up and reverting (for now). It's not readily optional unless I'm missing something obvious.
