The most sensible thing to do with all these may/may not be an 
improvement and also the break/don't break my code issues is to 
create an experimental branch of DMD after the transition from 
C++ to D is finished. Then merge back the good stuff after 
several iterations of improvement.

I'm sure Walter will be much more open to changes if there is a 
proven demand for it, e.g. if people rave about certain features 
in an experimental branch. Changing the main branch with "might 
be a little bit better" changes is a hard sell when competing 
languages are going stable.
