Old bugs

[Andrei Alexandrescu via Digitalmars-d]

I'm going through bugzilla in increasing ID order looking for tasks to 
bootcamp, and am finding a bunch of old bugs that haven't been looked at 
in a long time.

It would be really great to get rid of some of these old issues and 
generally put some order in our bugzilla. If some are just enhancements 
that given the current direction of D will never happen (as is the case 
with the proposed syntax "static else if" as an alternative/replacement 
for "else static if") please let me know and I'll look into closing them.

We've been liberal about putting things in bugzilla. Well, at some time 
we also need to look at them - it's not a write-only database like in 
that joke :o).

For example, https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1448 should be 
addressable. Either we should provide a translation function for 
outputting things and recommend it, or document that codepages that D 
runs on Windows etc - there's got to be a solution. It's not an 
NP-complete problem. Can somebody fluent in Windows codepages take a look?


Thanks,

Andrei
