I've also fixed a stray paren in std.algorithm 
(https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/2824), which was 
diagnosed correctly every time the documentation was generated. During 
doc generation there are also a bunch of warnings about undocumented or 
mismatched params. It would be awesome if someone was on it.

I very much appreciate the folks who make it a point to contribute to 
the github repos in addition to helping out people on the forums. I've 
identified as a distinct task of mine for 2015 to improve my leadership 
skills, starting with convincing someone to literally remove one 
character :o).
