You mean the list "Known D2.0, Language"? Here's what I think (Walter is 
the ultimate go-to person):

# Operator overloading: opBinary!("+"), opUnary!("--"), opIndexAssign!("*").

D2

# opDollar ( Bugzilla:3474).

D2

# Move complex and imaginary types from language into std.complex.

D2

# Fix the array stomping issue (T[new] was one proposal for this).

We have a design that partially resolves it. Steve Schveighoffer has 
implemented it.

# Remove C-style declarations.

I don't think they'll be removed, but TDPL doesn't mention them.

# Remove typedef.

D2

# Remove struct initializers.

Dunno

# Remove floating point NCEG operators

D2

# Remove "length" from array index expressions ( Bugzilla:3474).

Dunno. Hope so! TDPL won't mention it, so it's real bad if the feature 
stays,
