I think the matter here is that we're looking at adding very significant 
complexity to the language for a feature with at best minor, marginal 
benefits.

Default arguments add no power to the language, you can quote me on that.

A wrong was fixed with a simplifying solution. That broke some code. 
Granted, the code could be made to work with a much more complicated 
(and complicating) solution. Is it worth it? At this point in D's 
development, do we want to go full-bore about something that complicates 
the language to very little benefit, particularly considering we already 
have so many balls in the air? I think it's reasonable to look into 
fixing the code and calling it a day.


Thanks,
