D subset. We are examining each feature of D to find the largest possible subset of the language that is
memory safe. Then, if this subset is itself a practical language, D can be a major contribution towards
eliminating malware.<

to do.
Walter has talked about this before. Search old posts in this NG for more info. I'd point you at a post, but
it'd take me a while to find it and I'm on my way out of the office.
