BTW this is the lesson I've learned: have a couple examples for 
the most common case, ready to be copy/pasted AND explicitly call 
out the weird edge cases with examples learned from debugging 
experience.

For example, D docs should demonstrate patterns of compiler 
errors produced by common misuse. Make it so when someone 
searches the vomit dmd spews, it shows them the official doc 
saying "this is why it happened, what it means, and how to fix 
it".

Tutorials should immediately accustom people to seeing compiler 
errors by guiding them into, then back out of, various error 
situations.


If only I have three months wherein I didn't have to do anything 
else.... I'd actually really like to write a lot of D 
documentation.
