Yup, but there's so many bugs in his bug tracker. It seems clear to me he
needs help.
I talked with him a lot at DConf. As I understand it, most of the problems
are because both his and Alexander Bothe's semantic analyser's just aren't
as good as the D front end.

This comes back to my point about it being a separate satelite project. I
wonder if it might help with visibility of these problems if it were
included in the central github organisation, and bugs present in the main
bug tracker that everyone can see and looks at regularly.
