I've spoken to Walter about this before, he was quite open about
taking a "make it work, then try to make it pretty" approach to
things.  My biggest pet peeve is probably how dmd treats va_arg a
totally inconsistent way across each platform dmd supports.  In
comparison gdc handles va_arg in one way, and it is identical across
each platform supported (and platforms that have not yet gotten
support ;)
