There's an embarrassment of riches when it comes to finding stuff to 
work on for D2. I think we need to resign ourselves to the idea that we 
need to focus only on one subset of the stream of good ideas that are 
being proposed.

FWIW I was keen on structs interacting in interesting ways with 
interfaces (and submitted a number of enhancements in that directions) 
but then realized there are a number of problems that structs/interfaces 
cannot solve. I believe that a better path to pursue in checking 
interface conformance is via reflection.
