It's one that seems to engender lots of comments, but no action.

(BTW, there's a way to do it without the CTFE fix. One can use the approach I've 
always used in the past for C, which is write a separate program to generate the 
tables. This was used in the DMD build, and was gradually replaced with CTFE. It 
still exists in the backend, which is still in C++.)
