My post got lost in the ether apparently. And it even wasn't complete - 
and on 64bits it's 464Kb of tables alone. Needless to say I'm worried 
about these sizes getting too large given that D is pretty much 
statically linked ATM.

Let me make it more explicit.

I'm looking for a review manager and anybody willing to revive the 
review process instead of venting steam on proper property (pun 
intended) design and seeking a value in requiring parens on no-arg call 
(or proving otherwise).
