Not problems, but serious eye sores: Personally, I am really happy that 
"ireal" and "creal" are going to drop out of the language specs. Now D 
finally has the chance of being taken seriously by mathematicians...

(Anyone, who does not get it: imagine a language that calls floating 
point values "fint" because they are "fractional integers". The same 
language would probably also have the keywords "cvar" for "constant 
variable" and "ntrue" for "not true"... :-)  )
