Developing a plan for D2.0: Getting everything on the table

I've noticed you keep mentioning this. What exactly is it you mean by 
this? If you mean allowing the dmd front end to be identical in both dmd 
and ldc, I don't think that will ever happen (although getting it close 
should be possible). Putting together a patch to submit for dmd is on my 
to-do list for ldc2, I figured I'd wait for ldc2 to be in a more stable 
state before doing this though... No point submitting the patch when 
there's a nice chance it's going to change a lot as the (rather large) 
number of ICEs on valid D2 code drops (About 80% of Phobos2 causes an 
ICE currently. The rest compiles, but I doubt the code functions 
correctly, I didn't bother testing!).

That said, merging newer frontends in the mean time would be a lot 
simpler if I put together a basic patch...
