  Fun... I'll go through for the most recent version of DMD and 
see about porting my changes over in smaller bite-sized chunks 
and see if it won't be accepted. This might be easier than 
figuring out all the changes in the D language and figuring them 
out as I come across them (not that I used many of the features 
beyond templates and operator overloading).

  That is assuming this is still the case (it's been a year 
afterall). Hmmm. Off hand I'm remembering there was the issue of 
'sometimes a var sometimes a value sometimes a ref' that was 
popping up when it switched over to allocated memory when the 
array got beyond a certain size. There's something I still need 
to figure out.
