Right, I forgot about that. I haven't done a single thing on this since 
the last time I announced it.

I think that would be quite difficult. Although it would probably be 
easier to get 64bit and modern runtime support. An advantage of doing it 
in DMD (except that it's already in DMD) is that it's probably a bigger 
chance of it being officially added to D and not just an extension to 
LDD. If it's added to DMD it will automatically be merged by both LDC 
and GDC.

Another idea would be to add it to DMD with the current platform 
support. Then when it's merged with LDC, let them add support for ARM, 
64bit and modern runtime.

BTW, do you automatically scan the newsgroups for 
"http://michelf.ca/projects/d-objc/" :)
