For me personally, there are some really nasty bugs regarding 
default attributes (@nogc/@safe) that prevent me from using D in 
personal code projects.
Examples being:
Destroy can't be called in @safe and @nogc  context even it is 
the base class destructor is marked with @safe and @nogc. Among 
other base object functions.

This bug requires a DIP to fix(I was thinking about writing up 
one, but I am not sure if I should do that).
I don't want new features, I just want to fix the current 
existing bugs.
