Nope, (hopefully) just patches. I maintain a list of the bugzilla patches (i.e. http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5155) I've applied at the top of the file. But, mostly those are so DMD doesn't ICE; I've never seen this particular error before and am not sure how to interpret it. Hmm.. I don't use a Result type, but std.algoroithm does and one of the patches I always use is 6256 (http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6256), which addresses length for Map.
