:-)

Without breaking changes.  For the most part that appears to be 
const/invariant/enum right now, yes.

I also didn't mention closures because I think maybe they are likely to 
cause existing D1 programs to behave differently.

I also didn't mention __traits because it seems still in incubation. 
That's what D2 is perfect for.  Putting features in incubation till they 
prove stable.

So yeh let me state that I don't think changes to D2 should be 
backported instantly.  They should get tried out in D2 and survive a few 
releases before showing up in D1.
