I'm looking forward to that. Recently I've been working on a
compute-intensive program, and I've been hoping to test it with gdc to
get maximal performance, but since I developed the code mainly with dmd
git HEAD, it doesn't compile with gdc, which is rather frustrating. It
would be great if the three compilers are always in sync -- if gdc
could, for example, just pull straight from DFE git HEAD and Just
Work(tm).
