Well, you see, as TDPL is releases, there will be much attention on D, 
and people will go and try it out. Keep in mind that those people will 
know next to nothing about D. If the first what they'll experience is 
crashing on the chaotic documentation, that's going to be a major 
disappointment. It's like giving a birthday party without cake.
