The good thing about switching to DDMD the next release is that
(finally) we are forced to address codegen issues. I hope this will
finally get Walter going on codegen improvements, which I'm quite sure
he's well capable of, but just hasn't gotten around to it until now.

Here's to hoping https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14943 will be
fixed by next release...
