If you look at the runtime, that will give you an idea of the 
kind of code it can compile.

It can compile a descent subset of D, but most code won't 
compile, mostly because phobos makes use of all the feature 
imaginable in the language :)

It also have many rough edges. I would not recommend to use it 
for anything other than messing around to see what it can do at 
this stage.

Right now, I'm focusing on the GC. This may not seem like the 
priority #1, but that's pretty much he approach that I've taken 
with SDC so far: tackle difficult problem first, as these are the 
one more likely to impact the overall design of the thing.
