I completely agree, D's feature set is already very good and well
thought of. But having more thorough testing, might still be a good
idea. In fact I am very happy with D's feature set, but as long as D is
alive there will be improvements from time to time and having a way of
testing them thoroughly, can't really harm the language. But I don't
know. You and other people more involved in development are of course
better judges of usefulness of this proposal. Basically I was just
curious why it is not done this way.
