Here's the interesting question, though: is this *going* to happen?

We've known about this problem for ages now. No movement.

Some of the other problems are considerably less easy to fix. Examples:

A struct may be @disabled this(this), @disable this() and/or @disable 
init. Can you say that libraries..

Actually, strike that.

Can you say that the *standard* libraries work with all 8 combinations?
