I'd like to distinguish what's going wrong:

1. a bug in the implementation
2. a bug in the design
3. a bug in your mental model of how it works
4. unawareness of a feature in D designed for the situation

before throwing it all away and rebooting the design. Note that I have been able 
to help you when you've got an example illustrating the issue you're having.
