I:

1. Started a PR adding -Xcc switch to LDC [1].

2. Discussed a solution to [2] and [3] with Sönke, implementation 
is in progress.

3. Briefly went through sources of Stefan's CTFE implementation. 
To me it was also a good quick lesson about part of DMD internals 
I didn't know yet, and I hope I'll be able to review his code 
from time to time and motivate him.

4. Got a ton of inspiration and motivation.
