I forgot to mention in my last post your proposal for moving 
TypeInfo to the runtime [1] is also one of the changes I had in 
mind. It would be an excellent start, an important precedent, and 
would avoid the ridiculous TypeInfo-faking hack necessary to get 
a build.

It's exactly silly hacks like that that degrade the experience. I 
don't have the skills to fix it, and even if I did, I'm confident 
it wouldn't be welcome due to the aversion to change in the 
leadership and community.  This is why I'm saying bare-metal 
programming in D will need to fork and break with this community 
and its current philosophy for it to be a real contender with 
C/C++ in this domain.
